4/10/2026 Box Score: A's 4 New York Mets 0
Mets: The Mets dropped the first game of their series, 4-0...Is the first time they have lost the opener of a home series this season...Haven't scored since the first inning of yesterday's game against Arizona...This is the second time this season they have gone 17.0 consecutive innings without scoring a run (also: 3/30-4/1)...Per Elias.
Clay Holmes (5.1 IP, 5 H, ER, 3 BB, 3 K, WP): Allowed one run over 5.1 innings before being removed from the game with left hamstring tightness...He has allowed two or fewer earned runs in all three of his starts this season...His 1.50 ERA (3 ER/18.0 IP) is the fifth-best in the NL (min. 15.0 IP).
Luis Robert Jr. (1-4): Singled in the ninth inning to extend his on-base streak to nine games...He has reached base safely in all 12 of his starts this season...His .463 OBP this season is the best in the NL.
Brian Joura Mets360: "If you missed this game, you had plenty of company, as the Mets’ offense no-showed, too, as they were shut out by the A’s, 4-0, Friday night at Citi Field. They’ve now scored three runs over their last 27 innings. It was the third straight loss for New York and put the team at .500 for the season at 7-7."
NY Post: "They did not get a hit against the A’s — who two-hit the Yankees over the final 17 innings of a series in The Bronx that ended Thursday — until Jared Young laid down a bunt that somehow stayed fair with one out in the fourth."
Newsday: "The Mets’ best chance to break through came in the sixth when Francisco Lindor and Bo Bichette led off with back-to-back singles that put runners at the corners. Young hit a soft chopper to first baseman Nick Kurtz, whose strong throw to Max Muncy got Lindor at third for the first out. Luis Robert Jr. then hit into a 6-4-3 double play."
Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: "Since returning home to Citi Field this week, the Mets’ offense has come to a screeching halt. The A’s shut them out 4-0 on Friday night, their third straight loss. In four games this week, the Mets have scored only seven runs. They lost Holmes to left hamstring tightness 5 1/3 innings into his outing. He came out of the game with one out and one on in the sixth, and the Mets trailing 1-0."
Anthony DiComo Mets.com: Holmes tweaks hamstring, but 'pretty optimistic' he'll make next start. "The good news for the Mets is that Holmes feels he dodged a major issue. Team officials will wait to see how he recovers in the coming days, but there is a chance he won’t need to miss a start."

Transactions:
New York Mets signed free agent Brett Butler on April 11, 1995.
New York Mets signed free agent Claudio Vargas on April 11, 2008.
1962 | After being rained out the previous night and with some players getting stuck in an elevator, the Mets make their National League debut in St. Louis, losing to the Cardinals at Busch Stadium, 11-4. The defeat will be the first of a record-setting 120 losses the New York expansion team will suffer this season. |
1971 | Jerry Grote hits a walk-off homer in the 11th inning off Wayne Granger at Shea Stadium. The New York catcher's game-ending round-tripper accounts for the only run scored in the Mets' 1-0 victory over Cincinnati. |
2003 | In the first of its 'home' games at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the Expos rout David Cone and the Mets, 10-0. The Montreal franchise, which is now owned by major league baseball, will play 22 games in the commonwealth this season as a new venue is sought for the poorly-attended Canadian team. |
2006 | At the home opener at RFK Stadium prior to the hometown team's 7-1 loss to the Mets, Dick Cheney, wearing a red-and-blue Nationals jacket, becomes the eighth sitting vice president to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. After the the veep is greeted with a chorus of loud boos, he bounces the pitch in front of home plate, throwing the ball from directly in front of the pitching mound. |
1962 - The New York Mets play their first game and lose, 11 - 4, to the Cardinals in St. Louis. Gil Hodges and Charlie Neal provide bright spots for the Mets, hitting the first two home runs in the new franchise's history.
1963 - Warren Spahn of the Milwaukee Braves becomes the all-time winningest left-handed pitcher in major league history. Spahn's 6 - 1 victory over the New York Mets gives him 328 career wins, moving him ahead of Eddie Plank as the all-time winningest left-hander. Except for Duke Snider's home run, no Mets get past second base.
2001 - Greg Maddux of the Atlanta Braves is almost flawless for seven innings, combining with a pair of relievers to pitch a one-hitter in a 2 - 0 victory over the New York Mets. The Mets wind up with only one runner against Maddux, Mike Remlinger and John Rocker, when Todd Zeile lines a single about a foot beyond second baseman Quilvio Veras's glove with one out in the 2nd inning.
2006: Minor league pitchers Waner Mateo (Mets), Ryan Rafferty (Royals), Ramón Ramirez and Justin Mallett (Reds), are suspended 50 games each by the Commissioner's office for violating baseball's minor league drug program, the first penalties since the sport toughened its rules during the offseason.
2012: Two anniversaries clash in New York, as the Mets celebrate a half century of existence, and Washington Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg the second anniversary of his professional debut. Strasburg has the upper hand, pitching 6 scoreless innings to earn his first win of the year, 4 - 0. His opponent Johan Santana, also coming back from arm surgery, gives up a single run in 5 innings when Mark DeRosa scores on a wild pitch in the 2nd, but it's enough to saddle him with the loss.
2015: Mets reliever Jenrry Mejia is the latest major league player to be suspended for testing positive for a steroid as he is handed an 80-game penalty. He is the fourth pitcher to incur the penalty in a two-week span, following Ervin Santana, David Rollins and Arodys Vizcaino.
2017 - Yoenis Cespedes hits three home runs to lead the Mets to a 14 - 4 win over the Phillies. He is the first player in team history with two three-homer games. His effort is part of a seven-homer night as Lucas Duda goes deep twice, and Asdrubal Cabrera and Travis d'Arnaud hit one out each.
4/11/2015 Jenrry MejÃa is suspended 80 games after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs. MejÃa would return to the Mets in July and pitch 7 1/3 innings before another suspension for PEDs. pic.twitter.com/UxmIejX7KS
