Taijuan Walker gave up a run, on a homer by Mike Zunino, in pitching the top of the sixth for the NL All-Stars.
— Tim Healey (@timbhealey) July 14, 2021
Walker and Zunino were battery-mates on the Double-A Jackson Generals in 2012 (and then on the Mariners in the ensuing years).
"Just hearing my family scream for me, and cheer for me. I definitely heard them when I got that strikeout, so I'll definitely remember that one for a while" - Taijuan Walker on what he'll remember from the All-Star Game pic.twitter.com/yCUVCgXBLU

"I was just letting it rip as hard as I could...I was honestly trying to strike everyone out. I got one, so I'm happy with that"

Mets will also be at the Cole Hamels workout Friday. Their starting pitching has been excellent, but like just about all contenders, they are on the lookout for rotation help.

New York Mets traded Jeromy Burnitz to
the Los Angeles Dodgers for Victor Diaz, Kole Strayhorn and Joselo Diaz on July 14, 2003.

1964 |
The Cubs overcome making five errors in the top of the
third inning and beat the Mets, 4-2. The Chicago miscues, that include
shortstop Andre Rodgers and catcher Dick Bertell each committing two and
first baseman Ernie Banks contributing to the total by dropping a pop fly,
account for all of New York's scoring in the Wrigley Field contest. |
|
1969 |
At Wrigley Field, Bill Hands
and the Cubs edge Tom Seaver
and the Mets, 1-0. After the game's last out, Ron Santo
jumps up and clicks his heels for the first time, a move the third baseman
will repeat each time Chicago wins for the rest of his career. |
|
2001 |
Bobby Valentine wins his 1,000th career game as a manager
when Glendon Rusch
and closer Armando Benitez
combine to throw a one-hitter in the Mets' 2-0 victory over the Red Sox. Trot
Nixon's first-inning bunt single, a result of the New York starter's
inability to cover first base, is Boston's only hit in the Shea Stadium
contest. |
1969: At Wrigley Field, the Chicago Cubs top the New York Mets, 1 - 0, to
give Bill Hands (11-7) the win over Tom Seaver (14-4). Billy Williams singles home the winner, boosting the Cubs lead to 5 1/2
games. After the last out, Ron Santo jumps up and clicks
his heels, igniting a roar from the crowd. The Mets think it's bush.
1972: In his first major league game, Dave
Schneck hits a 2-run homer off
the Padres' Steve Arlin that turns out to be the game winner in the Mets' 3 - 2 win at San Diego Stadium.
1988: Ken Griffey singles for his 2,000th career hit in the Atlanta Braves' 9 - 8 loss to the New York Mets.
1989 - The New York Mets' Sid
Fernandez strikes out 16 Atlanta Braves, but the portly Polynesian portsider still
loses, 3 - 2, on Lonnie Smith's leadoff home run in the bottom of the 9th.
