213 Miles From Shea: Game Preview: Mets @ Phillies
Tim Healey Newsday: "The Nationals won, 4-2, after rallying for three runs in the eighth inning against lefthander Chasen Shreve and righthander Trevor Williams, the last members of the Mets’ Opening Day roster to appear in a game...Nelson Cruz had the go-ahead two-run single with two outs in the bottom of the eighth. The Mets suffered their first loss of the season, missing their chance for a four-game sweep."
NY Post: Bullpen, Pete Alonso error cost Mets in loss to Nationals. "The Mets first baseman’s throw on a grounder pulled Francisco Lindor off second base and helped extend the inning for the Nationals, allowing them to score the go-ahead runs...Alonso’s underhand throw to the plate on Lucius Fox’s safety squeeze earlier in the inning. Dee Strange-Gordon beat that throw for the tying run."
Brian Joura Mets360: "Carrasco was terrific in the game. While he allowed the first-inning run, he finished by retiring the last 15 batters he faced. He had a good fastball but ended up throwing twice as many off-speed pitches, which allowed him to keep batters off balance all game long."
Metstradamus: "The good news is that despite the lack of runs, the Mets are taking much better at-bats so far this season than they did last season. Last season’s constant was that the team was swinging at balls and watching hittable strikes go by. It isn’t like that this time around."

Today
in Mets History Per
Ultimatemets.com:
Born on this date:
- Wally Whitehurst (1964)
- Bret Saberhagen (1964)
- Bobby Jones (1972)
- Trot Nixon (1974)
- Alejandro De Aza (1984)
Transactions:
New York Mets signed free agent Brett
Butler on April 11, 1995.
New York Mets signed free agent Claudio
Vargas on April 11, 2008.
1962 |
After being rained out the previous night and with some
players getting stuck in an elevator, the Mets make their National League
debut in St. Louis, losing to the Cardinals at Busch Stadium, 11-4. The
defeat will be the first of a record-setting 120 losses the New York
expansion team will suffer this season. |
1971 |
Jerry Grote hits a walk-off homer in the 11th inning off
Wayne Granger at Shea Stadium. The New York catcher's game-ending
round-tripper accounts for the only run scored in the Mets' 1-0 victory over
Cincinnati. |
2003 |
In the first of its 'home' games at Hiram Bithorn Stadium
in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the Expos rout David Cone and the Mets, 10-0. The
Montreal franchise, which is now owned by major league baseball, will play 22
games in the commonwealth this season as a new venue is sought for the
poorly-attended Canadian team. |
2006 |
At the home opener at RFK Stadium prior to the hometown
team's 7-1 loss to the Mets, Dick Cheney, wearing a red-and-blue Nationals
jacket, becomes the eighth sitting vice president to throw out the ceremonial
first pitch. After the the veep is greeted with a chorus of loud boos, he
bounces the pitch in front of home plate, throwing the ball from directly in
front of the pitching mound. |
1962 - The New
York Mets play their first game and lose, 11 - 4, to the Cardinals in St. Louis. Gil
Hodges and Charlie Neal provide bright spots for the Mets,
hitting the first two home runs in the new franchise's history.
1963 - Warren Spahn of the Milwaukee Braves becomes the all-time winningest
left-handed pitcher in major league history. Spahn's 6 - 1 victory over the New
York Mets gives him 328 career wins,
moving him ahead of Eddie Plank as the all-time winningest left-hander.
Except for Duke Snider's home run, no Mets get past second base.
2001 - Greg Maddux of the Atlanta Braves is almost flawless for seven innings,
combining with a pair of relievers to pitch a one-hitter
in a 2 - 0 victory over the New
York Mets. The Mets wind up with only one runner against Maddux, Mike Remlinger and John Rocker, when Todd
Zeile lines a single about a foot beyond second baseman Quilvio Veras's glove with one out in the 2nd inning.
2006: Minor league pitchers Waner Mateo (Mets),
Ryan Rafferty (Royals), Ramón Ramirez and Justin Mallett (Reds),
are suspended 50 games each by the Commissioner's office for violating baseball's minor
league drug
program, the first penalties since the sport toughened its rules during the
offseason.
2012: Two anniversaries clash in New York, as the Mets
celebrate a half century of existence, and Washington Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg the second anniversary of his
professional debut. Strasburg has the upper hand, pitching 6 scoreless innings
to earn his first win of the year, 4 - 0. His opponent Johan Santana, also coming back from arm surgery,
gives up a single run in 5 innings when Mark DeRosa scores on a wild
pitch in the 2nd, but it's enough to saddle him with the loss.
2015: Mets
reliever Jenrry Mejia is the latest major league player to be
suspended for testing positive for a steroid
as he is handed an 80-game penalty. He is the fourth pitcher to incur the
penalty in a two-week span, following Ervin Santana, David Rollins and Arodys Vizcaino.
2017 - Yoenis Cespedes hits three home runs to lead the Mets
to a 14 - 4 win over the Phillies. He is the first player in team history with
two three-homer games. His effort is part of a seven-homer night as Lucas
Duda goes deep twice, and Asdrubal Cabrera and Travis d'Arnaud hit one out each.
