The Mets 2nd win in franchise history, a wasted deGrom start in 2021, a Mike Piazza come from behind walk-off HR in 1999, a nice comeback win in 2001, and another great pitching matchup in 1971.

Year: 2023; Game # 27; Friday, Apr 28; NYM 0 Vs. ATL 4;  5 innings; boxscore; WP: Fried; LP: Peterson;  Time: 1:23; Night; Attendance: 29,240; Record: 15-12; Standings: 2; Games up/behind: 3; L


Box Score: Atlanta Braves 4 Mets 0 Pete Alonso 1B 1 for 2, 1 K; Jeff McNeil 2B 0 for 1, 1 walk; Brett Baty 3B 1 for 2, 1 K; Francisco Alvarez C 1 for 2; David Peterson P (L,1-4) 5 innings, 4 runs - earned, 5 hits, 1 walk, 6 Ks; 


Braves 4 Mets 0 - Post Game Notes: 

  • Mets: Were shut out for the fifth time this season...Was their first time being shut out by Atlanta since August 16, 2022 and the first time at Citi Field since July 26, 2021. 
  • David Peterson: Has suffered the loss in three of his last four starts. 


Brian Joura Mets360: "David Peterson started off strong but the wheels came off in the fifth inning, as the Braves scored four runs and ended up winning a rain-shortened game, 4-0, Friday night at Citi Field." 


Metstradamus: "But in the fifth inning, Peterson was destroyed. He gave up a single to Eddie Rosario and a double to Kevin Pillar with one out. Then after getting Michael Harris on a fielders choice at the plate after nine pitches, he had nothing left for Ronald Acuna Jr. He threw an absolute meatball to Acuna on the first pitch, and he smacked it to left field for an RBI single to make it 1-0..." 


NY Post: "The Mets lost for the fifth time in six games, a night after they barely avoided getting swept by the woeful Nationals....Peterson’s night unraveled in the fifth, when he surrendered a three-run homer to Matt Olson that buried the Mets in a 4-0 hole." 


Tim Healey Newsday: Rain cuts Mets short right after David Peterson allows four runs in fifth inning vs. Atlanta. "Within seconds of Max Fried setting down the Mets in the bottom of the inning, which made the game official, umpires requested the tarp. Eighty-eight minutes later, MLB decided the game was over."

Year: 2021; Game#20; Wednesday  Apr 28 NYM 0 Vs. BOS 1; boxscore;  WP: Pivetta;  LP: deGrom; Save: Barnes; Time: 2:56; NIGHT; Attendance: 8,051;  Record: 10-10; Standings: 1; Games up/behind: Tied; L; 


Brandon Nimmo LF 0 for 3, 1 walk, 2 Ks; Francisco Lindor SS 0 for 3, 1 walk, 2 Ks; Pete Alonso 1B 1 for 4, 1 K; Michael Conforto RF 0 for 4, 3 Ks; J.D. Davis 3B 0 for 2, 1 walk, 1 HBP, 1 K; Dominic Smith LF 0 for 3, 2 Ks; Jeff McNeil 2B 1 for 3; James McCann C 0 for 2, 1 walk, 1 K; Jacob deGrom P 0 for 2, 1 K – (L, 2-2) 6 innings, 3 hits, 1 run – earned, 1 walk, 9 Ks;  Aaron Loup 1 inning, 1 hit, no runs, 1 K; Trevor May, 1 inning, no runs, no hits, 3 Ks; Edwin Diaz, 1 inning, no hits, no runs, 2 Ks; 


NY Post: Jacob deGrom’s bat went cold Wednesday night, so the Mets lost. 


Brian Joura Mets360: “The Red Sox came in to this brief two-game series with one of the best offenses in the game. So, the Mets hold them to a total of three runs and somehow end up getting swept. Wednesday night the Mets lost, 1-0, and stop me if you’ve heard this before but they wasted another big performance by Jacob deGrom.” (Subscription required)


Deesha Thosar NY Daily News: “For the second straight night, the loudest noise from the Citi Field crowd came in the form of boos. The home crowd of 8,051 fans didn’t just restrict their boos for Francisco Lindor, though he heard it loudly after he struck out in the sixth. This time the jeers were aimed at Michael Conforto, Dominic Smith, James McCann and just about anyone that didn’t capitalize with men on base – a trend that fans are utterly exhausted of seeing, especially when their ace is on the mound.”


Newsday.com:  “Pivetta walked the first two batters in the first, including leadoff man Brandon Nimmo, who returned after missing a game following a cortisone shot in his sore right hip. But Pete Alonso struck out (for the sixth at-bat in a row), Conforto hit a flyout to left and Davis bounced into a 6-4 forceout.”

NY Post: Steven Matz and late magic help Mets avoid getting swept. "Going a season-high seven innings, Matz tamed the Brewers’ hot bats — they had scored 18 runs on 28 hits over the first two games of the series — and the Mets continued an early-season trend of scoring in the late innings, leading to a 5-2 victory at Citi Field Sunday afternoon...A Ben Gamel two-base error led to pinch-hitter J.D. Davis’ go-ahead single in the seventh, and backup catcher Tomas Nido, recalled earlier in the day from Triple-A Syracuse after Travis d’Arnaud was designated for assignment, stroked a two-run double in the eighth."

NY Post: "Dillon Gee didn’t let one tough inning get him down.
