NY Post: Five Mets pitchers combine for no-hitter in win over Phillies. "'Once [Diaz] had Realmuto down to the last strike, you get this super tingly feeling of excitement,' said Pete Alonso, whose solo homer in the sixth followed Jeff McNeil’s two-run double in the fifth to give the Mets all the offense they would need."

NY Post: Edwin Diaz’s rare botch dooms Mets in loss to lowly Reds.  "Diaz (L,0-1), who had been unscored upon in 10 of his 12 appearances this season, got two quick outs in the ninth before Winker turned around a 96-mph fastball and cleared the right-field fence."


Mets360: "Jesse Winker jumped on a first pitch fastball from Edwin Diaz for a go-ahead solo home run in the top of the 9th, and the Reds’ bullpen was able to close the game out providing 5.1 scoreless innings...The Reds got off to an early start in this series opener with four runs in the second inning off Mets’ starter Zack Wheeler." 


NY Post: "Tanner Roark and his replacement, Wandy Peralta, struggled to throw strikes in the fourth, allowing the Mets to tie it 4-4. After Roark walked Pete Alonso on four pitches with the bases loaded for the inning’s first run, Peralta issued a four-pitch walk to Brandon Nimmo."

"With the Mets in front 4-0 and Mets starter Johan Santana in sight of his first win in nearly two years, the Rockies rallied to tie it in the eighth....[Tim] Byrdak gave up Todd Helton’s grand slam in the eighth, and Francisco blew a save in the 10th after pinch-hitter Mike Baxter singled off Belisle and Kirk Nieuwenhuis followed with an opposite field RBI double to left....David Wright started the 11th with a single off Matt Belisle (1-2) and Lucas Duda followed with a single. After Scott Hairston hit into a fielder’s choice, [Ike] Davis lined a single to left to score Wright and rescue the Mets...Santana, who missed all of last season [2011] after undergoing shoulder surgery, gave up two hits, walked three and struck out five in six scoreless innings."
