New York Post:
- Mark W. Sanchez: Mets’ Nolan McLean trying to fix concerning trend late in starts with hitters ‘adjusting’ "The next step for McLean’s ascent has become obvious: He needs to maintain his stuff and keep opposing hitters guessing deeper in games."
- Kodai Senga running out of time to turn ‘flashes’ into more with Mets’ depth waiting behind him "In 5 ²/₃ innings of disasters against the A’s and Cubs, Senga walked five. With plenty of traffic — made worse by poor fielding behind him in Chicago — a pitcher accustomed to simply turning to his forkball and striking his way out of danger has folded. Opposing hitters are hitting .333 with a 1.176 OPS against him with runners in scoring position."

Bill Madden NY Daily News: Phillies and Red Sox in worse shape than the Mets. "Hard to believe but after losing 12 in a row and 13 out of 15, the Mets still weren’t the worst team in baseball or even in their own division. That distinction fell to the Phillies who went into the weekend in the throes of a 10-game losing streak. And just like Met fans are calling for Stearns’ head, the Philly rabble are blaming future Hall of Fame executive Dave Dombrowski for supposedly not having the foresight to recognize the desperate need for a right-handed bat and the fact that too many of his key regulars were on the north side of 30."
Laura Albanese Newsday: Mets must find their way with Francisco Lindor missing in action. "Now would also be a good time for Brett Baty and Mark Vientos to finally answer the question that’s nagged them throughout their young careers: will they or won’t they live up to their potential. Both are carrying negative WARs and this fragile lineup simply can’t sustain that lack of production from what are now integral pieces. Ronny Mauricio, meanwhile, should be able to benefit from regular playing time."

1977 | The Rangers trade Lenny Randle, under suspension for the spring training altercation in which he fractured manager Frank Lucchesi's cheekbone, to the Mets for a player to be named later (infielder Rick Auerbach) and cash. Joe Torre, the New York's new skipper, replacing Joe Frazier, shifts the 28-year-old second baseman to third base. |
1988 | Keith Hernandez hits two homers and drives in seven runs to reach the 1000 RBI milestone. The Mets' first baseman's offensive output, which includes an eighth-inning grand slam off Charley Puleo, contributes to the Mets' 13-4 rout of the Braves at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. |
1995 | In the debut of Coors Field, the Rockies defeat the Mets in 14 innings, tying the National League record for the number of innings played in a season opener. After New York's first baseman Rico Brogna collects the ballpark's first home run, a fourth-inning line drive off Bill Swift, Dante Bichette ends the contest with a walk-off blasting the 14th frame, giving Colorado a dramatic come-from-behind 11-9 victory. |
2006 | At the age of 47, Julio Franco becomes the second-oldest player to steal a bag when he swipes second base in the eighth inning of the Mets' 9-7 victory over the Giants at AT&T Park. In 1909, Arlie Latham, who played two games at second base for the Giants, purloined a sack as a 49-year old. |
2012 | Using a home-grown starting lineup for the first time since 1971, New York beats Miami when Heath Bell walks four batters in the ninth inning, including Justin Turner's 13-pitch at-bat that knots the score before he gives up a game-winning two-out single to the rookie Kirk Nieuwenhuis. Forty-one years ago, Gil Hodges used a lineup of all former Mets farmhands that included Ed Kranepool, Bud Harrelson, Tim Foli, Ted Martinez, Mike Jorgensen, Duffy Dyer, John Milner, and Jerry Koosman. |
1995 - A number of Major League Baseball teams open their season, reduced to 144 games because of the strike. Coors Field, the National League's first new baseball-only park in 23 years, opens in dramatic fashion in Denver, Colorado, as Dante Bichette of the Rockies hits a three-run home run to defeat the visiting Mets in 14 innings, 11 - 9, tying the National League record for most innings played in a season opener.
