Pete Alonso on the benches-clearing incident:

"We're going to stand up for ourselves. What happened today didn't even make sense. The ball wasn't even close. Something got started for no reason." pic.twitter.com/MuFyedWzGC

"I don't know how close it was. It just felt close. It was just high. I'm not saying he's trying to throw it up there. It's just the ball got away, but that's the problem with that stuff "

"I'm a big, strong guy. If I wanted to put someone in the hospital, I easily could, but I was just out there trying to protect my guys."

"Every one of us has each other's backs. I can't imagine going into battle with anybody else. I have some unbelievable teammates, some unbelievable staff. We don't take this stuff lightly, getting hit in the head."

"He got upset. At that point, I was happy because I got him out of his comfort zone and they took him out of the game because of it."

Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com: 

Born on this date:

• Tom Sturdivant (1930)
• Lute Barnes (1947)
• Jorge Sosa (1977)
• Dillon Gee (1986)

National Pastime.com:

1965	As Houston fans cheer their pregame ascent, Mets announcer Lindsey Nelson and a radio engineer climb into the Astrodome's gondola and are hoisted 208 feet above second base to broadcast the game. The umpiring crew determines that any ball hitting the pair will be in play, since an existing ground rule also calls a ball hitting any part of the dome is also in play.
1995	Showing their displeasure at the recent baseball strike, three fans jump a Shea Stadium fence with one out in the top of the fourth inning, and begin scattering dollar bills at the feet of the Mets' players on the field. As a finale to their defiant act, the trio stands on second base with arms raised, showing the Opening Day crowd T-shirts that are stenciled with the word Greed. YouTube Clip.

2010	David Wright surpasses Ed Kranepool to become the Mets all-time leader in doubles. The 27 year-old third baseman, who collected his 1,000th career hit yesterday, strokes his 226th two-bagger in the second inning of the Mets' 7-3 victory over L.A. at Citi Field.

Baseball Reference:

1962 - Frank Thomas, Charlie Neal and Gil Hodges hit consecutive home runs in the 6th inning to lead the expansion New York Mets to an 8 - 6 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. The victory is a rare occurrence for the Mets - one of only 40 during their inaugural season.

2001: Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals ties the major league record for home runs in April by a rookie with 8, but St. Louis falls to the Mets, 6 - 5, in 11 innings.
