From the Post Game Notes:

    • Recorded a season-high 16 hits.

  • Jeff McNeil (2-5, 3B, RBI, R): Drove in the game-winning run with an RBI triple in the eighth...Is batting .421/.488/.605 over his last 10 games. 
  • Pete Alonso (2-5, 2B, 2 RBI, 2 R): Notched a game-tying double in the eighth...Ended an 0-19 drought with an RBI single in the sixth...Leads the NL and is the third in the majors with 25 RBI. 
  • Brandon Nimmo (2-5, 2 R): Is batting .424 (25-59) over his last 14 games with eight multi-hit efforts during that span. 
  • Brett Baty (3-3, HR, RBI, R, BB): Picked up his first career three-hit game...Reached base in all four plate appearances...Has reached base safely in eight of his nine games this season. 
  • Francisco Lindor (2-5, 2 2B, 3 RBI, R): Reached the 600-career RBI mark with a two run double in the fourth...Also had an RBI double in the sixth...Leads the NL and is tied for second in the majors with 11 doubles.

Anthony Rieber Newsday: Mets blow four-run lead but come back to defeat Nationals. "After two days of offensive futility, the Mets got hits of every shape and size. Brett Baty homered as part of his first three-hit game and Lindor drove in three runs...[Francisco] Alvarez left the game after eight innings. He was hit in the left side of the helmet with a back swing in the fifth. Showalter said 'everything checked out fine' and the club would see how Alvarez feels on Friday. " 


New York Post: Tommy Hunter and Brooks Raley combined to hit three batters in the eighth inning, when the Nationals scored five runs thanks to the series of pitching misses, Francisco Lindor booting a grounder and CJ Abrams crushing a grand slam. Suddenly, a 7-3 Mets lead was an 8-7 deficit. 


Brian Joura Mets360: "Trailing 8-7 in the eighth inning, Starling Marte started the winning rally with a single. He proceeded to steal second base and went to third on a long fly out by Francisco Lindor. Pete Alonso, who his previous time up snapped his 0-19 streak, smacked an RBI double to tie the game. Next up was Jeff McNeil, who pulled a ball that hit high up the wall in right field, which ended up being an RBI triple."

Year: 2022; Game#20; Wednesday  Apr 27, NYM 5 @ STL 10; boxscore;  WP: Woodford; LP: Carrasco; Time: 3:29; DAY; Attendance: 34,822;  Record: 14-6; Standings: 1; Games up/behind: up 3.5; L;

A one sided loss that will be remembered for a brawl.


Brian Joura Mets360: After a terrific outing against the Giants last time out, Carlos Carrasco turned in a 2021-vintage performance for him, squandering a 4-1 lead and giving up 8 R in 3.2 IP, as the Mets lost the final game of the series to the Cardinals, 10-5 in St. Louis Wednesday afternoon.


NY Post: Mets-Cardinals brawl erupts after Nolan Arenado loses it as plunking tensions explode. "The Mets have clearly had enough of getting plunked by opposing pitchers, and tensions boiled over Wednesday afternoon. After yet another Mets hitter got hit by a pitch — J.D. Davis left the game in the eighth inning after being hit in the left ankle — a brawl broke out between the Mets and Cardinals in St. Louis when Mets reliever Yoan Lopez retaliated by throwing high and inside at Nolan Arenado."

Francisco Lindor SS 1 for 4; PeteAlonso 1B 0 for 4, 4 Ks; Michael Conforto RF 2 for 4, 1 K; J.D.

NY Post: Garrett Richards arrived at Citi Field on Tuesday with 13 walks, 12 strikeouts and a 6.48 ERA through his first four starts for the Red Sox this season. The Mets welcomed him with a parade of whiffs.


Mets360: “David Peterson gave a strong effort, a nice bounce back from his last outing, but it wasn’t enough, as he allowed 2 ER in 6 IP. The Mets got three scoreless innings from their pen, including one by Jeurys Familia that included two bullets hit by the Sox, making up for some of those cheap hits he gave up earlier.” (Subscription required).


David Lennon Newsday: “The Mets’ only hit with a runner in scoring position (1-for-3) failed to get Michael Conforto in from second base but actually raised their average in those situations to .193, which is still dead-last in the majors. Jeff McNeil was responsible for the Mets’ lone run, blasting a first-pitch fastball into the rightfield seats in the second inning, but he also whiffed to strand two in the fourth.”

Mike Puma NY Post: Noah Syndergaard flops on his bobblehead night as Mets fall again. "Syndergaard labored early and was pummeled later in the Mets’ third straight loss, 8-6 to the Brewers...Pete Alonso’s three-run blast in the seventh sliced the Brewers’ lead to 6-5 and brought hope the Mets could complete a wild comeback. But Jeurys Familia surrendered two runs in the eighth and was booed as he left the field."

NY Post: Cabrera’s blast, deGrom’s gem propel Mets past Padres. "Asdrubal Cabrera...smashed [reliever Craig] Stammen’s first pitch into the right-field seats for a three-run homer that gave Jacob deGrom and the bullpen oxygen in a 5-1 victory over the Padres at Petco Park...DeGrom (3-0) fired 7 ¹/₃ shutout innings before Jerry Blevins, AJ Ramos and Matt Harvey finished it..."

Year: 2014; Game #25; Sunday;  Apr 27, NYM 4  Vs. MIA 0; boxscore; WP: Gee; LP: Koehler;  Time: 02:42; DAY; Attendance: 26,861; Record: 14-11; Standings: 2; Games up/behind: 3.5; W;


Dillon Gee (W,2-1) with 8 scoreless innings, 3 hits, 4 walks and 6 Ks, David Wright and Lucas Duda with RBI doubles and Chris Young with a 2 run homer provide the run support.


NY Post: Gee’s gem leads Mets over Marlins, 4-0. "Gee pitched the Mets to a 4-0 victory over Miami, putting on a masterful pitching clinic in front of 28,861 fans at Citi Field — and a lineup of befuddled Marlins. He moved the ball in and out, side to side and sent the Mets on their nine-game road trip having won six of their last eight games."


Brian Joura Mets360: "Dillon Gee was masterful Sunday afternoon against the Marlins. He became the first Mets pitcher in 2014 to complete eight innings as he hurled eight scoreless frames in the team’s 4-0 win. With the outing, Gee lowered his ERA for the year to 2.88 and in six games this season, he’s hurled four quality starts."

NY Post: Phillies rough up Marcum, Carson as Mets lose third straight, 9-4. "The Mets’ lineup has been slumping for a week, Saturday’s starter Shaun Marcum struggled in his debut and reliever Robert Carson was worse. By the time it was over, the Mets suffered a 9-4 beating at the hands of the Phillies and were mired in their first three-game skid of the year...Marcum (0-1) lasted just four innings in his injury-delayed Mets debut, giving up three earned runs and Carson coughed up five more — including back-to-back homers — in his only inning and was booed lustily by the 29,248 at Citi Field, who saw the Mets fall two games under .500 for the first time this season."


For the Mets offense, John Buck hit a solo HR in the 9th and David Wright went two for 4 with an RBI.

National Pastime.com:  Mets left fielder Scott Hairston became the tenth player in franchise history to hit for the cycle with his sixth inning double, plating Ruben Tejada and David Wright. The outfielder's four hits, which drive in four runs, aren't enough when Colorado routs New York, scoring 11 times in the fifth, in the Coors Field's contest, 18-9.

The 27 year-old third baseman, who surpasses Mike Piazza's mark of 935 games to reach the milestone, accomplishes the feat in his 868th career contest with the club...The suddenly streaking Mets win their sixth consecutive game with a doubleheader sweep of the Dodgers, 4-0 and 10-5. The victories mark the first time since August 28, 1971 that the club has taken both ends of a twin bill from L.A.

National Pastime.com: At Dodger Stadium, Mike Piazza ties Carlton Fisk for the most career homers by a catcher as he hits Hideo Nomo's sixth-inning pitch into the stands for his 351st round-tripper as a backstop. The homer, which was his 362nd overall, moves the Mets' star past Yankees' Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio on the all-time list. 


NY Post: Mike's Makes History. "Piazza’s 351st homer as a backstop broke a tie and catapulted the Mets (8-12) to a crucial 9-5 win. And the Mets finally broke out of their offensive funk, surpassing the number of runs they had in their previous six games. Shane Spencer belted a two-run homer and Todd Zeile added a solo shot as the Mets’ three homers were their most since, yes, the season’s second game."

NY Post: Double Disaster; Mets make 8 errors, K record 27 times in sweep. "...an 18-inning debacle. The Mets were swept, 6-1 and 7-3, but the scores didn’t even seem to matter as much. Rather, it was the disgraceful way the Mets played that induced nightmares."

On a 2-2 Astacio curve, Jenkins stroked a line single into left field...Astacio ended up going eight innings, allowing just three-hits...In the first against rookie Nick Neugebauer, a Robbie Alomar leadoff ground-rule double down the first-base line was followed by a Roger Cedeno sacrifice bunt, a Mo Vaughn out and a [Jeromy] Burnitz RBI single to center...In the sixth, Edgardo Alfonzo led off with a single and stole second.
