Brian Joura Mets360: "The Mets bounced back from yesterday’s fiasco, as four pitchers combined on a shutout, leading the Mets to a 2-0 win Tuesday night in Philadelphia."

Metstradamus: All Or Nothing Or Nothing At All. "Tylor Megill [(W, 2-0)] was at least the beneficiary of the “all or nothing” lineup, but he probably made a lot of it happen by his own accord. He threw another 5 and a 1/3 of scoreless ball to help the Mets hold the Phillies long enough so that the offense can take the lead."

1962

On a wintry day, the Mets play their first home game ever when only 12,000 fans show up at the Polo Grounds to see the return of National League baseball to the Big Apple. On Friday the 13th, the Pirates score the decisive run on two eighth-inning wild pitches thrown by Ray Diavault, beating the New York expansion team, 4-3.

1983

The Phillies, trailing by five runs entering the final frame, beat the Mets, 10-9, when Bo Diaz hits a walk-off bases-loaded home run. The Philadelphia catcher's 'ultimate grand slam', a home run which wins a game when a team is down by three runs in the bottom of the final inning, is tossed by Neil Allen, who faces only the final batter.

 

2012

Josh Thole's bizarre base running blunder leads to a very odd double play in the second inning of the Mets' 5-2 victory at Citizens Bank Park. After successfully reaching second base on R.A. Dickey's sacrifice bunt, the 25 year-old Mets' catcher shocks everyone, including the Philadelphia defense, by trying to return to first base, where he is tagged out to complete the unusual 3-1-6-4 twin killing.

Baseball Reference:

2009:  San Diego beats the Mets, 6 - 5, in the first game to be played at Citi Field in New York. The first batter of the game, Jody Gerut, hits a home run off Mike Pelfrey as the Padres jump to an early 5 - 1 lead. New York ties it on a three-run home run by David Wright, but the winning run scores when Luis Rodríguez reaches on a three-base error by RF Ryan Church and crosses the plate when Pedro Feliciano commits a balk.

2013 - Matt Harvey takes a no-hitter into the 7th inning, until the Twins' Justin Morneau hits a homer that clanks against the right field foul pole at Target Field with two outs. Harvey has the longest outing of his career, giving up only two hits in 8 innings in the Mets' 4 - 2 win. The Mets have seven consecutive hits in the 5th to score all their runs.

2017 - In the longest game yet played at Marlins Park, the Mets defeat Miami, 9 - 8, on a homer by Travis d'Arnaud in the 16th inning. Mets starter Robert Gsellman gives up 8 runs in 4 2/3 innings, but seven relievers combine to pitch 10 1/3 scoreless innings. Yoenis Cespedes hits a pair of homers, while d'Arnaud has four hits, including a bases-loaded triple and his game-winning homer off Adam Conley, who had been scheduled to start the next day. For the Marlins, Marcell Ozuna hits a grand slam in the 1st.
