Mike Puma NY Post: "Tuesday night a combination of underwhelming pitching, ugly defense and mediocre offensive output sank the Mets in an 8-3 loss to the Mariners at T-Mobile Park. The Mets lost their second straight game to begin the road trip."
Brian Joura Mets360: "Benge cracked a two-run homer that tied the game in the top of the third and then smacked a solo shot in the sixth. The two-homer game got Benge’s season-long OPS to .705 – the MLB average coming into Tuesday was .710, so he’s no longer the embarrassment that some of his wealthier teammates continue to be."
Anthony DiComo Mets.com: "The game was still tied when Marcus Semien and Mark Vientos committed fielding errors on back-to-back plays with one out in the third inning, with each of them unable to corral a line drive...Although those blunders resulted in only one run, the right side of New York’s infield was not done leaking...In the fifth inning, Vientos could not field a Cole Young chopper that glanced off his glove. Nor could pitcher Jonah Tong pick up his teammate. Three batters later, Jhonny Pereda hit a three-run homer to transform a close game into a blowout."
Laura Albanese Newsday: "Jonah Tong came in after opener Huascar Brazoban, and struggled, allowing five runs (four earned), five hits and two walks, with four strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings, though he was burned by back-to-back errors in the third. One of those came courtesy of Mark Vientos, who had an overall lousy day on both sides of the ball, committing a few other miscues and going 0-for-4, with a rally-killing sixth-inning double play."

1969 | Tom Seaver strikes out 14 batters in eight innings en route to the Mets' 5-2 win over L.A. at Shea Stadium. The victory, fueled by Ed Kranepool's two home runs, improves the second-place team's record to 24-23, the latest they have been above .500 in franchise history. |
1980 | The Mets select 18 year-old Darryl Strawberry as the team's number one pick in the June draft. During his stormy eight-year tenure with the team, the 6' 6" outfielder will establish franchise records with 252 homers and 733 RBIs. |
1981 | Returning as a free agent after a two-year absence from the game, Royals catcher Jerry Grote hits his first home run since 1976. The former Astro and Mets backstop's grand slam helps Kansas City overcome the Mariners, 12-9. |
1990 | Appearing as a pinch-hitter in the top of the eighth inning, Dave Liddell, playing in his only major league game, singles in his lone plate appearance. The Mets' 23 year-old catcher will stay in the contest, catching the remainder of the team's 6-3 loss at Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium. |
2012 | In a pregame ceremony at Citi Field, John Franco becomes the 26th member of the Mets Hall of Fame. The former southpaw reliever, who also played for Cincinnati and Houston, leads all lefties in all-time saves with 424, which includes 276 for the Mets, a franchise record. |
2006 - In a long day at Shea Stadium, rookie catcher Eliezer Alfonzo hits a two-run home run for his first major league hit, helping the San Francisco Giants to a 6 - 4 victory over the New York Mets in the first game of a doubleheader, which ends after 3 hours, 12 minutes. In the second game, already delayed 2 1/2 hours by rain, the Mets win 3 - 2, in the bottom of the 11th inning, when Lastings Milledge scores the winning run on a short sacrifice fly by Chris Woodward. The twin bill ends close to 11 p.m. ET.
2012: The Mets complete a three-game sweep of the Cardinals with a 6 - 1 win to reach a virtual tie for first place in the NL East. Jon Niese strikes out a career-high 10 batters in 6 innings before leaving because of an accelerated heart beat. Kirk Nieuwenhuis hits a homer and drives in 3 runs. The Cards lost the first two games of the series by shutout, including Johan Santana's no-hitter on June 1st, and finally end their 26-inning scoring drought in the 8th, on an RBI single by Adron Chambers.
2016: The Marlins get some unwanted publicity when they are the first to publicly announce the death of boxing great Muhammad Ali on the Marlins Park scoreboard at the end of tonight's game against the Mets. Team President David Samson had heard the news from a person close to Ali, but had not realized the family had not made the news public when he calls on the scoreboard operators to pay tribute.
Amazing Avenue: This Date in Mets History: June 3 — Mets draft Darryl, Gregg Jefferies, and others.
