Mets vs Phillies Highlights 4/13/2022;



Brian Joura Mets360: "But neither pitcher was sharp early and both were gone before the sixth inning. Scherzer picked up the win, going to 2-0 on the season. But he did not end up the story of the game. Instead, the theme of the day was power, as the Mets belted six extra-base hits and the Phillies added three more."

Mike Puma NY Post: "By the time Alonso deposited his second homer of the season over the right-center-field fence, a three-run shot in the sixth inning, the Mets had made the contest a laugher...A later-innings rally from the Phillies ended the laughing, but the Mets (5-2) have taken two road series from division rivals and head to Citi Field for their home opener Friday against the Diamondbacks."

1976

On the north side of Chicago, Dave Kingman launches a homer down the left field line that hits a house 530 feet from home plate. The Cubs, as well as the home, survive the right-fielder's blast, defeating the Mets in the Wrigley Field contest, 6-5.

2001

The Reds beat Al Leiter and the Mets, 1-0, to set the modern National League mark for not being shut out by an opponent, scoring in their 175th consecutive game. Ironically, the record-breaking contest comes against the last team and pitcher to blank the franchise, a 5-0 defeat at Cinergy Field in a playoff game to determine the NL Wild Card.

 

2006

At the Mets Team Store beginning today through the April 17 tax deadline, fans can have their taxes done for free by Gilman Ciocia. The Shea TAX-TEAM will also prepare an automatic extension for those who are not ready to file.

 Baseball Reference:

1968: At the Astrodome, New York Mets pitcher Nolan Ryan earns the first of his 324 major league victories. The 21-year-old right-hander hurls six and two-thirds innings of three-hit, shutout baseball to lead the Mets over the Houston Astros, 4 - 0. Danny Frisella takes the save in 2 1/3 innings of relief. Tommie Agee goes 2 for 3 with two runs and Art Shamsky 2 for 3 with two RBI. Larry Dierker is the losing pitcher.

1976 - In the 6th inning of today's 6 - 5 loss to Chicago, the Mets' Dave Kingman hits what will become widely regarded as the longest home run ever hit in Wrigley Field, estimated at 600 feet in many of the next day's press accounts, with the putative "paper of record" going as high as 630. Some cold water is applied to these claims by longtime Cubs' broadcaster Jack Brickhouse, speaking in 1982 with Paul Susman of Baseball Digest: "Brickhouse revealed that the ball was greatly helped by a strong wind of about 35 miles per hour. Brickhouse estimated Kingman's blast in reality went about 500 feet." To be fair to Kingman, the Cubs' own scoresheet for this game estimates "530 to 550 feet," which in conjunction with researcher Bill Jenkinson's assertion of 530 feet as the distance between home plate and the point of obstruction, would suggest a typo or simple misreading as the culprit in the inflated Times estimate.

1999: John Franco strikes out the side in the 9th inning of the New York Mets' 4 - 1 win over the Florida Marlins, becoming the second relief pitcher in major league history to reach 400 career saves.

2011: The Rockies complete a four-game sweep of the Mets by taking both ends of a doubleheader at Citi Field, 5 - 4 and 9 - 4. Troy Tulowitzki leads Colorado's offense by homering in all four games and going 10 for 16 with 8 RBI in the series.
