9/5/2025 Box Score: New York Mets 5 Cincinnati Reds 4
Francisco Lindor#: SS 1 for 1; 1 double; 2 runs; 3 walks; Juan Soto: RF 2 for 4; 1 double; 1 run; 1 RBI; 1 walk; 1 SB; Pete Alonso: 1B 0 for 5; 2 Ks; Mark Vientos: 3B 2 for 4; 1 HR; 2 runs; 2 RBIs; 1 K; Brett Baty*: 3B 0 for 1; 1 K; Brandon Nimmo: LF 1 for 4; 1 RBI; 1 K; Starling Marte: DH 1 for 4; 1 RBI; Jeff McNeil*: CF 1 for 4; Cedric Mullins: CF 0 for 0; Francisco Alvarez: C 1 for 4; 2 Ks; Luisangel Acuña: 2B 1 for 4; 1 K; 1 SB; David Peterson: (W, 9-5) 5.1 innings; 4 runs; 4 ERs; 7 hits; 1 walk; 4 Ks; Ryne Stanek: (H, 9) 0.2 inning; no runs; 1 walk; 2 Ks; Brooks Raley*: (H, 6) 1 inning; no runs; 2 Ks; Tyler Rogers: (H, 28) 1 inning; no runs; 1 hit; 1 K; Edwin DÃaz: (S, 26) 1 inning; no runs; 1 hit; 2 walks; 2 Ks;
Brian Joura Mets360: "Edwin Diaz loaded the bases with no outs in the ninth inning but retired the next three batters without allowing a run, picking up the save in a 5-4 Mets win Friday night over the Reds in Cincinnati. The Mets are now 76-65 and have gone 12-7 in their last 19 games."
Mike Puma NY Post: "All it took was a new pair of spikes — which he changed into on the field with one out in the inning and the bases loaded — for DÃaz to finish the job, holding the Mets’ one-run lead. He struck out Elly De La Cruz before racing to cover first base for the final out on Gavin Lux’s slow grounder to Luisangel Acuña."
Robert Sanchez SNY.TV: "The save was Diaz's 26th of the season in 28 chances. Across 54 innings, the right-hander has a 1.83 ERA with 83 strikeouts. And for how good he's pitched this year, the play at first base may have been the most impressive part of the entire inning -- by both Acuña and Diaz."
Laura Albanese Newsday: "The Mets scored three runs in the first off Andrew Abbott and took a 5-1 lead in the fourth on Juan Soto’s RBI double. Mark Vientos went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and a homer and Francisco Lindor scored twice. The Reds scored three runs off David Peterson in the bottom of the fourth on Tyler Stephenson’s two-run double and Hayes’ sacrifice fly."
Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: "The most important moment in the most important game of the season this far came in the bottom of the sixth inning. The Mets held a one-run lead over the Cincinnati Reds, who had two on with one out. Ryne Stanek...came in to face the middle of the order. Stanek got out of the inning in dramatic fashion, and the Mets went on to win 5-4 on Friday night at American Family Ballpark."

Transactions:
New York Mets purchased Larry Foss from the Pittsburgh Pirates on September 6, 1962.
New York Mets signed free agent Keith Miller on September 6, 1984.
1981 | Fernando Valenzuela ties the National League's rookie record for shutouts, blanking St. Louis, 5-0, for his seventh whitewash of the season. The Dodger lefty shares the mark with Irv Young (1905 Beaneaters), Grover Alexander (1911 Phillies), and Jerry Koosman (1968 Mets). |
1985 | In a matchup of aces that lives up its advanced billing, Dwight Gooden and Fernando Valenzuela hook up in one of the best pitchers' duel in recent memory. New York beats Los Angeles at Chavez Ravine, 2-0, thanks to Darryl Strawberry's two-run double on a day that the 20-year-old Mets right-hander strikes out ten batters, throwing nine shutout innings, while the Dodger southpaw pitches 11 innings without allowing a run. |
2005 | As part of the National Roberto Clemente Day celebration, teams will collect donations from fans in support of the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. Also, in remembrance of those affected by the disaster, major league players will don helmets bearing the Red Cross logo on the right side, and the number to call to help those in need will appear on the sides of the bases. |
1982 - Veteran first baseman Willie Stargell, whose uniform number 8 is retired, is saluted by 38,000 fans on his day at Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium. The 41-year-old slugger delivers a pinch-hit single in the Pirates' 6 - 1 win over the Mets.
1987: The Dodgers beat the Mets, 3 - 2, in 16 innings, to end their losing streak at 9 games‚ the club's worst since 1973.
1989 - The last-place Phils top the first-place Cubs, 9 - 1 behind Bruce Ruffin's complete game. With the Cards beating the Mets‚ Chicago leads St. Louis by half a game in the NL East.
1998 - Atlanta OF Andruw Jones hits his 50th career homer in a 4 - 0 win over the Mets. He becomes the 3rd-youngest player in history to reach that level. Only Mel Ott and Tony Conigliaro did so at a younger age. Atlanta P John Smoltz limits the Mets to just 3 hits‚ while fanning an even dozen batters en route to his 14th win.
