Bo Bichette; 3B 1 for 4; 1 run; Juan Soto; DH 1 for 4; Francisco Alvarez; C 1 for 4; 1 K; Tommy Pham; PR 0 for 0; Luis Torrens; C 0 for 0; Brett Baty*; RF 2 for 4; 1 double; 1 run; 2 RBIs; Mark Vientos; 1B 2 for 4; 1 K; Marcus Semien; 2B 0 for 4; Carson Benge*; LF 1 for 4; Tyrone Taylor; CF 1 for 3; 1 K; MJ Melendez*; PH 0 for 1; 1 K; Ronny Mauricio#; SS 2 for 3; 1 run; Freddy Peralta; (L, 1-3) 5.2 innings; 2 runs; 2 ERs; 7 hits; 3 walks; 8 Ks; Sean Manaea*;  3.1 innings; 2 runs; 2 ERs; 3 hits; 1 walk; 7 Ks; 

Brian Joura Met360: "The Mets hit into four double plays, with the last one in the eighth inning being particularly crushing, and fell to the Rockies, 4-3, Friday night at Citi Field. The Mets have now lost 13 of their last 15 games."

Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: "Squaring up balls has been difficult for the Mets as of late, and it was no different against Colorado starter Michael Lorenzen. They hit into four double plays, three on the ground against Lorenzen, and one ending what could have been a key eighth-inning rally by hitting a line-drive double play. The Mets have hit into three or more in three games already this season."

Dan Martin NY Post: "They threatened in the bottom of the eighth...Francisco Alvarez singled to left to load the bases for Brett Baty, who delivered a two-run single to center to make it 4-3. Vientos’ line-drive double play kept them a run short and the Mets have scored more than three runs just three times in their last 15 games..."

AP Sports: "Jake McCarthy hit a tiebreaking double off starter Freddy Peralta (1-3) in the sixth, and Troy Johnston added a two-run single against Sean Manaea in the seventh to help Colorado end an eight-game losing streak to the Mets."

Anthony DiComo Mets.com: "...Peralta rarely gives the Mets much length. Through six starts, he’s averaging 5 1/3 innings per outing...On Friday at Citi Field, that inefficiency came back to haunt the Mets when Peralta needed 95 pitches to record 17 outs. Those were 5 2/3 effective innings for Peralta, who allowed just two runs. But the briefness of his outing forced the Mets to turn in the sixth inning to Sean Manaea, who allowed two more Rockies to score in a 4-3 defeat."

    1963

    In the second year of their existence, the Mets win a game on a Thursday for the first time in franchise history when they beat Chicago at Wrigley Field, 3-2. During their inaugural season, the expansion team failed to register a victory in the 15 games played on the fifth day of the week.

    1984

    In a 2-1 victory over Montreal at Olympic Stadium, Mets right-hander Dwight Gooden becomes the first teenager to strike out ten batters in a major league game since Bert Blyleven accomplished the feat with the Twins in 1970. The 19 year-old rookie will lead the National League with 276 strikeouts this season.

    2000

    Honoring the work stoppage called by Cuban-Americans over the Elian Gonzalez immigration controversy, Marlins Alex Fernandez, Vladimir Nunez, Michael Tejera, and Mike Lowell, Devil Rays' Jose Canseco, and Mets' Rey Ordonez and Cookie Rojas do not participate in major league action. The protest stems from the federal district court's ruling that the five year-old boy must be returned to his father in Cuba, taking him away from the maternal relatives living in Miami.

    2012

    David Wright becomes the Mets' all-time RBI leader with 735 runs batted in when he hits a two-run home run in the team's 5-1 victory over the Marlins at Citi Field. The 29 year-old third baseman passes Darryl Strawberry's franchise mark with his sixth-inning blast off Mark Buehrle.

    Baseball Reference:

    1962 - Catcher Harry Chiti is traded for himself when the Cleveland Indians send him to the New York Mets in exchange for a player to be named later. On June 15th, the Mets will sell Chiti back to Cleveland to complete the deal.

    2010Mike Pelfrey throws a rain-shortened five-inning shutout as the Mets complete a series sweep of the Braves, 1 - 0, at Citi Field. Pelfrey is in trouble all five innings, but manages to escape unscathed in extending his string of scoreless innings to 24. It is actually Raul Valdes who is on the mound for New York when the game is stopped in the top of the 6th, but everything after the 5th is wiped out, giving Pelfrey credit for a complete game. The game's lone run comes when Jose Reyes runs wild in spite of the sloppy conditions, stealing second after a two-out bloop single in the 1st, and coming to score on Jason Bay's infield single when 3B Chipper Jones's throw skips away from 1B Troy Glaus just enough to allow Reyes to dash home.
