Year: 2023; Game # 42; Monday, May 15; NYM 3 @ WSN;10; boxscore;  WP: Corbin;  LP: Peterson;   Time: 2:34; DAY; Attendance: 15,220; Record: 20-22; Standings: 4; Games up/behind: 6.5; L 


Box Score: Washington Nationals 10 Mets 3 Brandon Nimmo CF 1 for 5, 1 RBI, 1 K; Francisco Lindor SS 1 for 4, double, 1 run scored; Pete Alonso DH 1 for 4, 1 K; Starling Marte RF 2 for 4, 1 run scored, 1 stolen base; Jeff McNeil 2B 2 for 4, 1 run scored, 1 RBI;  Eduardo Escobar 3B 2 for 4; Francisco Alvarez C 1 for 3, double, 2 walks; David Peterson 5 innings, 6 runs - all earned. 9 hits, 2 walks, 5 Ks; Tommy Hunter 3 innings, 4 runs - all earned, 6 hits, 1 HR, 2 Ks; 


New York Post: Brutal baserunning mistake highlights mixed Francisco Alvarez performance "Alvarez was on first in the second inning with the bases loaded and two outs in a 1-1 game. With Brandon Nimmo at the plate, Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz threw behind Alvarez and picked him off to end the second inning, taking the bat out of Nimmo’s hands."


NY Post David Peterson shelled again as Mets’ woes continue with loss to Nationals "Peterson’s starts have turned into almost automatic losses as he’s struggled with his command, particularly with his slider. On this day he allowed six earned runs on nine hits and two walks over five innings and saw his ERA bounce to 8.08. The Mets (20-22) have lost seven of the eight games he’s started this season and five straight." 


Mets360 Gut Reaction: Nationals 10, Mets 3 (5/15/23) "The Mets had a chance to win a four-game series on the road. Instead, their pitchers gave up 10 runs to one of the worst offenses in the league and they ended up with a split, as they lost, 10-3, Monday afternoon in D.C."

Brian Joura Mets360: The Mets almost had another miraculous ninth inning comeback but fell just short, losing to the Mariners, 8-7, Sunday afternoon. 


Metstradamus: "This game really had no business coming down to one pitch. It was one of those rare occasions where almost nobody on the Mets pitching staff (save for the new guy) had a good outing, and despite the fact that the Mets had two 2-run triples in the 4th to take a 5-4 lead, the key members of the bullpen could not hold it for them as Julio Rodriguez tied the game with a solo shot and someone named Cal Raleigh hit a home run that went to the rice ball stand to help the Mariners to an 8-5 lead." 



Year: 2021; Game#34; Saturday  May 15 NYM 5 @ TBR 12; boxscore;   WP: McClanahan; LP: Lucchesi; Time: 3:01; DAY; Attendance: 7,536;  Record: 19-15; Standings: 1; Games up/behind: up 1.0; L; 


Jose Peraza, Pete Alonso, and Francisco Lindor all homered, the Mets had a 4-1 lead in the top of the 4th but a Rays 5 run 4th and 6 run 8th did the Mets in.

NY Mets: Mets’ gamble backfires in forgettable loss to Nationals. "The gamble to give Wilmer Font a shot against the Nationals in this short-handed Mets rotation resembled a sucker’s bet almost from the start Wednesday night...Font, acquired last week in a trade with the Rays...lasted only 2 ¹/₃ innings and surrendered five earned runs on six hits and two walks."


Year: 2018; Game #38; Tuesday;  May 15, NYM 12  Vs. TOR 2; boxscore;  WP: Syndergaard; LP: Garcia; Save:   Time: 3:02; NIGHT; Attendance: 28,967; Record: 20-18; Standings: 4; Games up/behind: 3.5; W;

Year: 2014; Game #40; Thursday;  May 15, NYM 0  Vs. NYY; 1; boxscore;   WP: Betances;  LP: deGrom;  Save: Robertson; Time: 03:04; NIGHT; Attendance: 40,133; Record: 19-21; Standings: 4; Games up/behind: 3.5; L


Baseball Reference: "In his first major league outing, Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom does something no other member of the pitching staff has been able to do yet this season: get a hit. His 3rd-inning single off Chase Whitley of the Yankees breaks a record 0-for-64 drought by Mets pitchers at the plate this season. DeGrom, who had been an infielder his first couple of years in college before becoming a pitcher, also pitches very well, allowing 1 run in 7 innings, but is a hard-luck loser, 1 - 0, as Whitley, Dellin Betances, Adam Warren and David Robertson combine on a three-hit shutout. Whitley, who is also making his big league debut, gives up no runs in 4 2/3 innings and also collects his first hit, off deGrom."



Year: 2013; Game #37; Wednesday;  May 15, NYM 2 @ STL 4; boxscore;   WP: Maness;  LP: Marcum;  Save: Mujica; Time: 03:07; NIGHT; Attendance: 38,143; Record: 14-23; Standings: 4; Games up/behind: 6.5; L;

NY Post: Greinke, Ishikawa lead Brewers over Mets 8-0. Greinke (4-1) pitched five-hit ball for seven dominant innings. Ishikawa led off the fifth with his third homer of the year and connected for a three-run drive in the sixth, both home runs coming on the first pitch of the at-bat against Dillon Gee (2-3). 



Year: 2011; Game #40; Sunday;  May 15, NYM 7 @ HOU; 4; boxscore;   WP: Capuano;  LP: Rodriguez;  Save: Rodriguez; Time: 03:19; DAY; Attendance: 28,406; Record: 19-21; Standings: 4; Games up/behind: 6.5; W;


Justin Turner hits his first homer as a Met and first of his career, a 3-run shot in the 6th that proves to be the difference in the game.  He also doubles driving 5 runs overall for the night.  Chris Capuano (W,3-4) 5 innings, 2 runs, 6 Ks.

NY Post: Cliff Makes Mets Pay in Shea return. "[Cliff Floyd] made his first start at Shea since leaving the Mets and went 3-for-5 with a run and RBI before being replaced in the seventh inning of the Mets’ 10-1 loss to the Cubs...The 34-year-old slugger received a nice hand from 37,487 in the first before striking out against John Maine. It wasn’t an overwhelming ovation, but rather a warm thank you for Floyd’s four seasons from 2003-06."



Year: 2005; Game #38; Sunday;  May 15, NYM 2  Vs. STL; 4; boxscore;   WP: Morris;  LP: Heilman;  Save: Isringhausen; Time: 02:29; DAY; Attendance: 32,949; Record: 19-19; Standings: 4; Games up/behind: 4.5; L;

Year: 2004; Game #37; Saturday;  May 15, NYM 4 @ HOU 7; boxscore;   WP: Pettitte;  LP: Baldwin; Save: Dotel; Time: 02:56; NIGHT; Attendance: 42,581; Record: 17-20; Standings: 4; Games up/behind: 3.5; L;


NY Post: Is it Bye-Bye, Baldwin? James jolted as Andy Pettitte stops Met streak. "...allowing four runs on six hits, three walks and a hit-by-pitch in just four innings. In his two starts, Baldwin (0-2) has now allowed 10 runs, 13 hits and five walks in six innings..The Mets...mounted a sudden two-out rally [in the 4th], scoring three runs, two coming on Jason Phillips’ two-run double, to cut the lead to one.  But the Mets couldn’t get any closer than that the rest of the way, despite having several chances."


Year: 2003; Game #41; Thursday;  May 15, NYM 3 @ SFG 11; boxscore;   WP: Rueter;  LP: Leiter;  Save:   Time: 02:35; NIGHT; Attendance: 36,542; Record: 17-24; Standings: 5; Games up/behind: 11; L;

NY Post: Mets get another gem -  D’Amico mirros Pedro with two-hit shutout. "Jeff D’Amico tossed a gem as equal and as dominant as Pedro Astacio’s two-hit shutout on Tuesday night, as D’Amico beat the Dodgers, 2-0. D’Amico (3-3) allowed just two hits...D’Amico walked two and whiffed eight" An Edgardo Alfonzo double and Mo Vaughn HR led the Mets offense.

Amazing Avenue: Pat Mahomes beats Phillies in his Shea debut. "Mahomes entered the game on May 15, 1999, in the fourth inning with the Mets down 6–5, and held the Phillies in check for 2.1 innings while the Amazins chipped away and took the lead."


Baseball Reference: When SS Alex Arias of the Philadelphia Phillies snags Mike Piazza's line drive in the 6th inning, he starts the Phillies' 30th franchise triple play and their 10th against a team from New York City. It is just the second triple play turned in Veterans Stadium. Arias has participated in two triple plays for the Phils; he initiated one last season against the San Francisco Giants. The Mets still win, 9 - 7.

Eric Hillman (L,0-3) allowed 3 runs in the 1st on back to back homers to Fred McGriff and Javy Lopez.  Kevin McReynolds doubled in Todd Hundley in the bottom of the 1st but that was all the Mets offense.  Steve Avery (W,4-1) went 8 innings with 9 Ks, 1 run, 1 ER on 5 hits.

Baseball Reference: The Mets' newly-acquired Bret Saberhagen pitches five innings before leaving with tendinitis in his pitching hand that will effectively sideline him for the rest of the year. He will not win another game this year following today's 4 - 1 decision over the Dodgers.

Baseball Reference:  Cubs P Barney Schultz ties Roy Face's major-league record by relieving in his 9th consecutive game for Chicago. Today's effort doesn't help as the Cubs lose, 6 - 5 in 13 innings against the Mets. Roger Craig, en route to a 10-24 year, is the winner, while Tony Balsamo loses to notch his only career decision. 


A walk-off bases loaded walk to Hobie Landrith wins it for the Mets.
