AP News.com: "Francisco Lindor made a diving catch at shortstop with the bases loaded in the ninth inning and scored the winning run on a throwing error in the 10th to lead the New York Mets past the Milwaukee Brewers 3-2 on Tuesday night."

Andrew Tredinnick The Record: "After the Brewers took the lead in the top of the fourth inning on a Luis Lara RBI single, Francisco Lindor evened the score off Brewers starter Kyle Harrison with a solo home run to open up the fifth inning. Luis Robert Jr. boosted the Mets in front 2-1 off Brewers reliever Chad Patrick, leading off the bottom of the sixth inning with a solo shot to left field. It was Robert’s fourth home run in his last six games."

NY Post: "Austin Warren — pitching in place of fill-in closer Kodai Senga, who had thrown Saturday and Sunday — blew a one-run lead in the ninth by allowing a game-tying RBI double to Christian Yelich. Yan entered a second-and-third-with-one-out jam, struck out Garrett Mitchell and walked Joey Ortiz."

Anthony DiComo Mets.com: "The next batter, Hamilton, lofted a soft line drive toward shortstop, where Lindor was shaded up the middle. He had less than two seconds to race to his right, dive and snare the baseball, robbing Hamilton of a go-ahead hit that would have likely scored two runs."

Brian Joura Mets360: "After Jonathan Pintaro and his 97 mph fastball kept the Brewers from scoring in the top of the 10th inning, Lindor was the zombie runner at second base to start the bottom of the frame. Carson Benge, who had three hits, was intentionally walked to set up the double play. Luis Robert Jr., who homered to give the Mets a 2-1 lead leading off the sixth, walked to load the bases."

SNY.TV: "Christopher Morel, in his second at-bat after coming on as a pinch-hitter, came up in the game’s biggest spot with the bases loaded and one out in the 10th and the game tied. Against the drawn-in infield, Morel hit the ball just hard enough to the left of the third baseman for him to panic and make a wild throw wide of the plate to allow the game-winning run to score on David Hamilton's throwing error."

Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: "This came after Left-hander Nate Lavender tossed two scoreless innings in relief, continuing his impressive rookie streak. He hasn’t allowed a run in nine innings and has given up only one hit, walked two hitters, and struck out 11."

Today in Mets History: 

Born on this date:


1965
At Shea Stadium, the Mets beat the Dodgers, 5-2, making Tug McGraw (2-2) the first Mets pitcher to defeat Sandy Koufax (21-7). Previously, New York had lost 13 consecutive times to the future Hall of Fame southpaw.
1968
After starting his career 0-5, Jim McAndrew gets his first major league victory when he goes the distance at Busch Stadium, blanking St. Louis on five hits, 1-0. In his first four major league starts, the Mets failed to score a run, resulting in two 2-0 and two 1-0 defeats for the 24 year-old rookie right-hander.

1993
The Mets announce that Vince Coleman will remain on paid administrative leave until the end of the season, effectively ending his playing career with the team. Co-owner Fred Wilpon's unequivocal decision that the controversial outfielder, who signed a four-year $11.95 million contract before the 1991 season, will not ever put on a Mets uniform again is the result of Coleman admitting to tossing a M-100 firecracker from a Jeep departing from a Dodger Stadium parking lot last month, injuring three people.
1996
The Mets replaced Dallas Green as their manager with Bobby Valentine, a former coach who left the organization to manage in Texas. During his stormy seven-year tenure in New York, Bobby 'V' will compile a 536-467 (.534) record and will lead the team to the NL pennant in 2000.

2008
Driving in Damion Easley with a fourth-inning groundout at Citizens Bank Park, Mets infielder David Wright becomes the first player in franchise history to have four 100-RBIs seasons. The 25 year-old has reached the plateau every year since becoming the team's regular third baseman.


2011: Chris Capuano tosses the best game of his career, throwing a two-hit shutout while striking out 13, as the Mets defeat the Braves, 6 - 0.
