Brian Joura Mets360: "Mark Vientos atoned for running thru a stop sign and getting thrown out at the plate by 30 feet in the sixth inning with an RBI bloop in the eighth, sending the Mets to a 3-2 win over the Twins Wednesday night at Citi Field. The victory snapped a 12-game losing streak."
Laura Albanese Newsday: "The Mets ran themselves out of the sixth after Vientos reached on a two-out walk. Marcus Semien doubled but Vientos, whose sprint speed is in the 18th percentile, ran through a stop sign at third and was thrown out easily. Afterward, he said he saw third-base coach Tim Leiper throw up his hands but 'I followed my instincts . . .'I’m not going to play passive on the baseball field . . . I’d rather make a mistake aggressive than passive.'"
Abbey Mastracco NY daily News: With two out and runners on first and second, Vientos flared a sinker from right-hander Justin Topa off the end of his bat to shallow right field, where it dropped between converging defenders. Brett Baty scored from second base, breaking a 2-2 tie to lift a tremendous weight off the shoulders of the Mets.

New York Mets traded Chico Fernandez and Bobby Catton to the Chicago White Sox for Charley Smith on April 23, 1964.
New York Mets claimed Jeff Kaiser on waivers from the Cincinnati Reds on April 23, 1993.
New York Mets signed free agent Gerald Williams on April 23, 2004.
1962 | In the team's tenth attempt, the Mets win their first game in franchise history, defeating the Pirates at Forbes Field, 9-1. Jay Hook's five-hit complete-game victory snaps Pittsburgh's record-tying winning streak of 10 games from the start of the season without a loss. |
2006 | Keith Hernandez is reprimanded by Sportsnet New York, the Mets' television network, for comments made last night about the female in full uniform sitting in the Padres dugout. Spotting Kelly Calabrese, the Padres' full-time massage therapist, the Mets broadcaster remarked women "don't belong in the dugout" and apologized for his insensitive comments during the telecast. |
2010: The Mets beat the Braves, 5 - 2, as Ike Davis hits his first major league home run. There is an unusual play in the 7th inning: with the Mets leading 3 - 2 with two runners on base, Jose Reyes hits a high pop-up and the umpires invoke the infield fly rule. But 3B Chipper Jones crosses in front of SS Omar Infante in the windy conditions, and the ball glances off his glove and falls to the ground. C Brian McCann picks up the ball, and not realizing that Reyes is out automatically, goes after him. He relays the ball to 1B Eric Hinske, who tags both Reyes and the bag to no avail. While the Braves are busy flogging a dead horse, Angel Pagan races around the diamond for the Mets' fourth run. Nippon Pro Baseball veteran Hisanori Takahashi replaces starter John Maine, who has to leave in the 4th inning with pain in his left elbow; he strikes out seven in three innings to pick up his first major league win.
2015: The Mets tie a team record with their 11th straight win, 6 - 3 over the Braves. Daniel Murphy drives in 4 runs as Bartolo Colon is the winner over Julio Teheran.
2019 - Zack Wheeler has a career night for the Mets against the Phillies, as he gives up no runs on 5 hits in 7 innings while striking out 11, and also contributes at the plate with a double and his first career homer. New York wins handily, 9 - 0.
