Mike Puma NY Post: Tylor Megill rebounds in big way to lift Mets to series win over Diamondbacks "Megill pitched 6 ²/₃ innings and allowed two earned runs on five hits with seven strikeouts and one walk. He was removed after 92 pitches."

Tim Healey Newsday: A notable statistic in the context of Megill’s ongoing development as a pitcher, just 10 months removed from his major-league debut: He totaled six curveballs against the Diamondbacks, according to MLB’s pitch-tracking technology. That was one more than he threw in his first three starts combined. “It allows my fastball to play a little better,” [Megill] said. 'I’ve been working on it, trying to get it game-ready. I threw probably three or four good ones and one that almost hit a guy in the head.'”

Deesha Thosar NY Daily News: Mets win five straight series to begin 2022 season, matching a franchise record. "Hours after Buck Showalter delivered some muddled details regarding Jacob deGrom’s progression, Tylor Megill once again showed that—with him taking deGrom’s place in the rotation—the Mets can afford to bide their time with the two-time Cy Young winner."

Brian Joura Mets360: Tylor Megill out-battled Mets nemesis Madison Bumgarner and J.D. Davis reached base three times, leading the Mets to a 6-2 win over the Diamondbacks in Arizona Sunday afternoon. The win gave the Mets’ their fifth-straight series win to open the season. 












Before the Game the Mets announced these roster moves:

  • INF Matt Reynolds – Claimed off of waivers by Cincinnati on April 24; 
  • RHP Adonis Medina – Optioned to AAA on April 24;
  • RHP Yoan López – Recalled from AAA on April 24. López will wear #44;

Tim Healy Newsday: Medina, who struck out the side in his one-inning Mets debut Saturday, will be a starter in the minors, according to Showalter. The Mets want to have the option of using him in either role in the majors.

1963

In the second year of their existence, the Mets win a game on a Thursday for the first time in franchise history when they beat Chicago at Wrigley Field, 3-2. During their inaugural season, the expansion team failed to register a victory in the 15 games played on the fifth day of the week.

1984

In a 2-1 victory over Montreal at Olympic Stadium, Mets right-hander Dwight Gooden becomes the first teenager to strike out ten batters in a major league game since Bert Blyleven accomplished the feat with the Twins in 1970. The 19 year-old rookie will lead the National League with 276 strikeouts this season.

 

2000

Honoring the work stoppage called by Cuban-Americans over the Elian Gonzalez immigration controversy, Marlins Alex Fernandez, Vladimir Nunez, Michael Tejera, and Mike Lowell, Devil Rays' Jose Canseco, and Mets' Rey Ordonez and Cookie Rojas do not participate in major league action. The protest stems from the federal district court's ruling that the five year-old boy must be returned to his father in Cuba, taking him away from the maternal relatives living in Miami.

2012

David Wright becomes the Mets' all-time RBI leader with 735 runs batted in when he hits a two-run home run in the team's 5-1 victory over the Marlins at Citi Field. The 29 year-old third baseman passes Darryl Strawberry's franchise mark with his sixth-inning blast off Mark Buehrle.

 

Baseball Reference:

1962 - Catcher Harry Chiti is traded for himself when the Cleveland Indians send him to the New York Mets in exchange for a player to be named later. On June 15th, the Mets will sell Chiti back to Cleveland to complete the deal.

2010: Mike Pelfrey throws a rain-shortened five-inning shutout as the Mets complete a series sweep of the Braves, 1 - 0, at Citi Field. Pelfrey is in trouble all five innings, but manages to escape unscathed in extending his string of scoreless innings to 24. It is actually Raul Valdes who is on the mound for New York when the game is stopped in the top of the 6th, but everything after the 5th is wiped out, giving Pelfrey credit for a complete game. The game's lone run comes when Jose Reyes runs wild in spite of the sloppy conditions, stealing second after a two-out bloop single in the 1st, and coming to score on Jason Bay's infield single when 3B Chipper Jones's throw skips away from 1B Troy Glaus just enough to allow Reyes to dash home.
