4/14/2026 Box Score: Los Angeles Dodgers 2 New York Mets 1
Francisco Lindor#; SS 2 for 4; 1 HR; 1 run; 1 RBI; 1 K; 1 SB; Luis Robert Jr.; CF 0 for 4; 1 K; Jorge Polanco; DH 0 for 4; 2 Ks; Bo Bichette; 3B 1 for 4; 1 double; 1 K; Francisco Alvarez; C 0 for 3; 1 walk; 1 K; Brett Baty*; RF 0 for 3; 2 Ks; Mark Vientos; 1B 0 for 3; 2 Ks; Marcus Semien; 2B 0 for 3; 1 K; Carson Benge*; LF 1 for 3; Nolan McLean; 7 innings; 1 run; 1 ER; 2 hits; 2 walks; 8 Ks; Brooks Raley*; (L, 0-1) 1 inning; 1 run; 1 ER; 1 hit; 2 walks; 1 K;
Laura Albanese Newsday: "The Dodgers outlasted McLean, cobbling together a run against Brooks Raley in the eighth inning as they beat the Mets, 2-1, at Dodger Stadium for the Mets’ seventh straight loss on Tuesday night."
Brian Joura Mets360: "For seven innings it was a masterful pitching duel between Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Nolan McLean...The Mets did not send McLean back out to the mound [for the 8th]. Brooks Raley gave up a walk, a sacrifice and then an intentional walk. And then the cursed bloop. It’s a tough way to lose a game."
Anthony DiComo Mets.com: "Staked to a 1-0 lead on Lindor’s 32nd career leadoff homer, McLean gave it back almost immediately in the bottom of the first on a walk, a double and a Freeman RBI groundout. But he didn’t allow anything else, recording 13 consecutive outs from the first through fifth innings."
Mike Puma NY Post: "Yamamoto returned to the mound for the eighth and retired Mark Vientos on a weak comebacker before Marcus Semien hit a drive to the warning track in left that was caught. Benge singled to left and Lindor’s ensuing single to right moved the go-ahead run to third base, ending Yamamoto’s night at 104 pitches. After Lindor stole second, Luis Robert Jr. was caught looking at Strike 3 on Blake Treinen’s full-count sweeper to end the inning."

Nobody likes to lose but I saw some “ green shoots tonight “. On offense, Lindor had two hits including a home run. Bichette got a double hitting it to left field as opposed to recently being right field prone. Benge got a solid hit. Soto started his running progression today.…

1968 | The Astros defeat the Mets in 24 innings, 1-0, making it the longest scoreless game in major league history. The six-hour and six-minute contest, in which each team had 79 at-bats and 11 hits, ends when Bob Aspromonte's grounder goes through the legs of shortstop Al Weis, scoring Norm Miller from third base with one out. |
2004 | Major league baseball begins the tradition of Jackie Robinson Day, an annual celebration commemorating the day in 1947 when the Dodger infielder broke the color line. At big league venues across the country, ceremonies are being held to honor the ground-breaking historical event, including baseball commissioner Bud Selig and Jackie's widow Rachel Robinson attending the festivities at Shea Stadium. |
1947 - 28-year-old Jackie Robinson makes a historic debut for the Brooklyn Dodgers, becoming the first African-American to play major league baseball in the 20th century. Robinson goes 0 for 3 in his debut, but scores the deciding run in a 5 - 3 victory over the Boston Braves at Ebbets Field. He handles 11 chances at first base, a new position for him. Coach Clyde Sukeforth, interim manager and the man credited with first scouting Robinson, guides the Dodgers to two victories before stepping down. Robinson is the first black player to appear in the majors since 1884.
1958 - Major League Baseball comes to California as the transplanted Giants and Dodgers play the first game on the Pacific Coast. The Californian contest at San Francisco's Seals Stadium sees Ruben Gómez blanking Los Angeles and Don Drysdale. Daryl Spencer hits the first home run and Orlando Cepeda also homers in the Giants' 8 - 0 victory in front of 23,448 fans.
1997 - The 50th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's breaking the color barrier in major league baseball is celebrated before 54,047 at Shea Stadium during a game between the Mets and the Dodgers. U.S. President Bill Clinton and Jackie's widow, Rachel Robinson, both speak during the 35-minute presentation, but the surprise of the evening occurs when acting Commissioner Bud Selig announces that Robinson's number 42 will be retired in perpetuity for every team. On the field, the Mets beat the Dodgers, 5 - 0.
1998 - The first-ever American League-National League doubleheader ends up a good day for New York. The Yankees are forced to come to Shea Stadium after a beam fell into the stands at Yankee Stadium on April 13th. They earn their first victory in Queens in 22 years as they defeat the Angels, 6 - 3. Former Mets star Darryl Strawberry, the all-time home run leader at Shea, adds to his total with a shot into the left field bleachers. In the regularly-scheduled night game, the Mets beat the Cubs, 2 - 1. The Yankees, who played at Shea in 1974 and 1975 while Yankee Stadium was renovated, draw a crowd of 40,743, a dramatic contrast to the gathering of 16,012 who show up for the Mets game at night.
