Brian Joura Mets360: "The Mets tied the game in the top of the ninth inning only to turn around and lose it in the bottom of the frame, as the White Sox got a walk-off homer to claim a 2-1 win Sunday afternoon in Chicago. The Mets are now 14-21 in one-run games."

AP Sports: "Tristan Peters homered with one out in the ninth inning to give the Chicago White Sox a 2-1 victory over the New York Mets on Sunday. After the Mets tied it in the top of the inning, Peters drove a pitch from Kodai Senga (0-9) 406 feet into the center-field seats to seal Chicago’s 11th walk-off victory this season — and second of the series."

Mike Puma NY Post: "Peters’ blast to center on a 96 mph fastball, which just eluded A.J. Ewing’s outstretched glove, became Senga’s first hiccup since becoming the closer two weeks ago when Devin Williams was placed on the injured list. Among the realities of the job is pitching on consecutive days — something Senga was doing for the first time Sunday."

Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: "McLean held the White Sox to only one hit over six innings. He walked four to give them chances, but struck out six."

Jason Fry Faith and Fear in Flushing: "You had Nolan McLean, with the movement on his pitches baffling the White Sox and sometimes McLean himself. I’m pretty sure what he did to [strike out] Andrew Benintendi with the bases loaded in the third inning was prohibited by the Geneva Conventions."

SNY.TV: " Dedniel Núñez...with a scoreless bottom half of the seventh, but the White Sox were able to break through in the eighth as Benintendi changed the scoreless tie with an RBI double off Daniel Duarte. The righty struck out two to escape without further damage, but snapped a nine-outing scoreless streak."

Mark Rosenman Kiner's Korner: " After Bo Bichette grounded out to open the [9th] inning, Carson Benge singled and Luis Robert Jr. drew a walk to put two runners aboard. Young then came through with a ground-ball single up the middle, scoring Benge from second and tying the game at 1-1...Francisco Alvarez would strike out, but Marcus Semien followed with a walk to load the bases before A.J. Ewing struck out to end the threat."

Today in Mets History: 

Born on this date:

Transactions:

New York Mets signed free agent Kelly Stinnett on August 24, 2006.

2005
After fouling off three Jose Valverde full-count fastballs, Mike Jacobs goes deep at BOB to become the only player to hit four home runs during the first four games of a major league career. The Mets rookie, who hits two round-trippers in the 18-4 rout of the Diamondbacks, has homered four times, including his first big-league at-bat, in his first 13 plate appearances.
2013
For the first time in history, the All-Star Game starters face each other in the same regular season when Mets right-hander Matt Harvey and the Tigers' Max Scherzer are opposing pitchers in Detroit's 3-0 victory over the Amazins' at Citi Field, the site of this year's Midsummer Classic. The historic matchup ends with the New York starter, who gives up 13 hits in 6.2 innings, going on the DL for season-ending surgery, and his opponent becoming just the third pitcher to start a season with a 19-1 record, joining Rube Marquard (1912 Giants) and Roger Clemens (2001 Yankees).

2015
In a 15-7 victory over the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, the Mets set franchise marks with eight home runs and 14 extra-base hits, including David Wright's second-inning blast in his first plate appearance since going on the DL in April due to a bad back. Wilmer Flores (2), Yoenis CespedesJuan LagaresTravis d'ArnaudDaniel Murphy and Michael Cuddyer also contribute to the team's new round-tripper record. 



Baseball Reference:

1975In the second game of a doubleheader sweep, Giant hurler Ed Halicki no-hits the Mets, 6 - 0. The 6'7" righthander strikes out 10 Mets to improve his record to 8-10. Craig Swan takes the loss. Controversy arises when Rusty Staub hits a ball off Halicki's leg, which caroms to the 2B Derrel Thomas, who picks it up then drops it. Official scorer Joe Sargis rules it an E-4. New York columnist Dick Young, watching the game on TV, writes that it should be a hit and accuses Sargis of subscribing to the theory that the first hit off a starter should be a "good one." The no-hitter stands but UPI's Sargis loses his job as a sometime scorer.
