5/3/2026 Box Score: New York Mets 5 Los Angeles Angels 1
Brian Joura Mets360: "Mark Vientos cracked two home runs to back the strong pitching of Clay Holmes, leading the Mets to a 5-1 win Sunday afternoon in Anaheim. The victory gave the Mets the series win, as they start the nine-game road trip with a 2-1 record."
Mike Puma NY Post: "Holmes kept his string of superb starts intact by allowing one earned run on four hits with three walks and six strikeouts over 6 ²/₃ innings as his ERA dropped to 1.69."
NY Post: Gary Cohen breaks out SAT word to describe Carson Benge’s highlight-reel Mets catch. "The SNY broadcaster called the diving catch a “pulchritudinous play” on air as broadcast partner Todd Zeile looked as astonished by the play as he was by Cohen’s choice of words to describe it."
Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: "Leadoff hitter Zach Neto drew an 11-pitch walk in the first inning, and Mike Trout then walked...After striking out Nolan Schanuel, Holmes gave up an RBI single to Jorge Soler...A 5-3 double play ended the inning and got Holmes out of further trouble. From there, he held the Angels scoreless, giving up only three more hits and striking out six. "
Laura Albanese Newsday: "...manager C"arlos Mendoza simply moved Bo Bichette to shortstop and had Brett Baty start at his natural third base position — the second time Baty has done so this season....just maybe, the Mets should consider the novel approach of keeping players at the positions they play best."

Toronto Blue Jays claimed Pete Walker of the New York Mets on waivers on May 4, 2002.
New York Mets purchased Logan Verrett from the Texas Rangers on May 4, 2015.
1963 | The first reported use of the familiar refrain "Let's Go Mets" is heard at the Polo Grounds in the bottom of the ninth inning during a rout by San Francisco. With the Amazins' trailing by 13 runs and down to their last out with no one on base, the rallying cry begins to be chanted by some of the 'New Breed,' the affectionate name given the fans of the National League expansion team. |
1991 | At Shea Stadium, Mackey Sasser and Mark Carreon, the first two batters in the ninth inning, both go deep as pinch-hitters off Jeff Brantley to knot the score at two runs apiece in the Mets' eventual 4-2 victory over San Francisco in 12 innings. It is the first time in the 30-year history of the franchise that two pinch-hitters have hit back-to-back round-trippers. |
2007 | The second inning Chase Field matchup of Mets first baseman Julio Franco against Diamondback fireballer Randy Johnson marks the oldest hitter-pitcher confrontation in big league history. With a mere 92+ years of age between them, the nearly 49 year-old goes deep off the southpaw, who is four months shy of 44, to extend his record as the oldest player to homer, and with his ninth-inning swipe of second, he continues to be the oldest to steal a base. |
2012 | An anonymous bidder pays $418,250 for the baseball hit by Mookie Wilson that rolled through the legs of Bill Buckner, allowing the Mets to cap a two-out rally with a 6-5 walk-off victory in the tenth inning in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. The historic horsehide was the centerpiece of memorabilia being offered by Heritage Auctions from the collection of Los Angeles songwriter Seth Swirsky, which also included Reggie Jackson's third home run ball from Game 6 of the 1977 Fall Classic ($65,725), the Ranger cap that Jose Canseco was wearing in 1993 when a ball bounced off his head over the wall for a homer ($11,950), and a 1965 baseball signed by the Beatles from the Shea Stadium concert ($65,725). |
2011: Tim Lincecum has a good night in shutting out the Mets, 2 - 0, at Citi Field. He fans 12 batters in 7 innings for the 29th double-digit strikeout game of his career. That total is the most ever by a Giants pitcher, overtaking Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson who set the previous mark back in the days the franchise played in New York.
2019 - The longest game in the history of Miller Park goes 18 innings before Ryan Braun ends it by driving the winning run with his 6th hit of the night. A two-run single with one out in the 18th gives the Brewers and 4 - 3 win over the Mets. Braun outhits all of his teammates, given Milwaukee only tallies 11 safeties as a team; in the winning rally, the Mets' Chris Flexen walks the bases loaded before facing Braun.
