Brian Joura Mets360: "The offseason was about run prevention and hitters who could make contact. Saturday night was another dismal failure in both regards, leading to a 4-3 loss to the Dodgers at Citi Field."

NY Post: "Nolan McLean wasn’t helped by his defense — a Brett Baty throwing error and a Francisco Alvarez passed ball contributed to a three-run Dodgers third inning. The punchless Mets predictably couldn’t touch Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who won for the 11th time this season. The right-hander pitched around trouble in the first, third and fifth innings, and delivered six innings of one-run ball."

Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: "Tyrone Taylor pinch-hit a two-run single off Tanner Scott to bring the Mets back to within one run of tying in the bottom of the eighth. Right-hander Huascar Brazobán kept the deficit to one in the ninth. Right-hander Brock Stewart retired the side in order for the save (one)."

Bo Bichette (2-5, RBI): Singled in the first inning and lined an RBI single to left field in the fifth inning...Has hit safely in five of his last six games including three multi-hit games

Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: Juan Soto’s second calf injury sparks questions about Mets training. "Calf injuries and Achilles injuries tend to be related. The Mets have now had four of those injuries to three players this season, so it could simply be bad luck. It could also mean some of the training they’re having position players do is leading to a weakness in that area. It could also be both luck and training."

Today in Mets History: 

Transactions:

New York Mets released Brandon Knight on July 26, 2009.

New York Mets released Miguel Batista on July 26, 2012.


1962
Braves hurler Warren Spahn, en route to a complete-game victory, homers off Mets right-hander Craig Anderson to set the National League record for round-trippers hit by a pitcher. The southpaw's 31st career home run helps Milwaukee extend New York's losing streak to 11 with a 6-1 victory at County Stadium.
2012
Matt Harvey sets a Mets record for strikeouts in a major league debut previously established and shared by Tom Seaver and Bill Denehy with nine when he fans 11 batters in the team's 3-1 victory over Arizona at Chase Field. In his 5.1 innings on the mound, the rookie right-hander gives up three hits, while collecting two hits in the batter's box.




1964The Braves sweep the Mets in a doubleheader at Shea Stadium, but Atlanta uses 11 pitchers to do it. The Mets also use 11 pitchers, a two-team record, as the Braves win, 11 - 7 and 15 - 10. Both wins go to Chi-Chi Olivo who toils just 2 2/3 innings.

1975 - Bill Madlock goes 6 for 6 during the Cubs' 10-inning, 9 - 8, loss to the Mets.

1978Johnny Bench hits his 300th career home run, off Nino Espinosa, and Pete Rose hits in his 39th straight game, but the Reds bow to the Mets, 12 - 3.

2012Matt Harvey strikes out 11 Diamondback hitters in his major league debut, beating the Mets franchise record of 9 held by Tom Seaver and Bill Denehy; it is the most in a debut since Stephen Strasburg fanned 14 for the Nationals two years ago. Harvey allows no runs on three hits in 5 1/3 innings, before leaving because of pitch count issues; for good measure, he also goes 2 for 2 at the plate, with a double off Wade Miley for his first major league hit. He gets credit for the Mets' 3 - 1 win at Chase Field.
