NY Post: Starling Marte returns in style in Game 1 win, but Mets drop nightcap. Marte’s homer provided a cushion for Carlos Carrasco before he threw a pitch in his first career start at Coors Field. Carrasco rebounded from a rough start against the Mariners by allowing one earned run on seven hits over 5 ¹/₃ innings...Returning from the bereavement list following the death of his grandmother, Brigada Gonzalez, the [Marte] crushed the first pitch he saw Saturday, circled the bases, blessed himself and looked toward the great beyond with clasped hands...The Mets lost 11-3 in the nightcap, after the Rockies used a seven-run sixth inning against Adonis Medina and Chasen Shreve to take control.

NY Post: Punchless Mets can’t bail out Jacob deGrom in loss to Dodgers. "In his second major league start, deGrom (0-2) allowed three runs, four hits, three walks and struck out four over six innings...Eric Campbell gave the Mets life in the sixth with his first major league home run, a two-run blast that trimmed the Dodgers’ lead to 3-2...in the eighth...Hanley Ramirez hit a comebacker to Jeurys Familia that could have been an inning-ending double play. But with Wilmer Flores and Daniel Murphy converging at second base, Familia hesitated on the throw, and the Mets got just one out. Chone Figgins scored on the play...That run became bigger in the ninth when Juan Lagares’ triple led to the Mets pulling within 4-3."

NY Post: "Mike McKenry tied it with a two-run homer in the seventh off Johan Santana and Neil Walker made it all the way to third in the eighth when his long drive off Jon Rauch (3-3) glanced off the glove of center fielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis for an error and rolled to the wall. One batter later, Barmes hit a fly to right and Walker just beat the wide throw from Lucas Duda."

National Pastime.com: When Dae-Sung Koo bats against Randy Johnson, Mike Piazza confides to David Wright in the dugout, "If he gets a hit, I'll donate a million dollars to charity." The Korean reliever, batting lefty off the Yankee fire-balling southpaw and who was afraid to stand in the batter's box in a previous game, promptly hits a 91-mph fastball to the wall in center for a double, causing the Mets catcher to remark he'll be making a significant donation to a charity over the next 20 years. You Tube Link:

NY Post: Clark is the hero. "Trailing 4-2 in the seventh, Clark held off a sinker to draw a pinch-hit, bases-loaded walk to cut the deficit to 4-3. Then Cliff Floyd knotted it with a solo shot in the eighth...Marco Scutaro singled up the middle to lead off the ninth and took third on Roberto Alomar’s groundout. Clark then laced Terry Adams’ 1-1 pitch over second baseman Placido Polanco’s head, and was mobbed at first base."

NY Post: Mets left out in Cold. Amazin's Bats are Chilly in Philly. "After Piazza put recent rumors to rest by saying, “I’m not gay,” Jeff D’Amico lost a pitcher’s duel with 24-year-old righty Vicente Padilla when the Phillies scored four runs in the eighth to break the tie. 'They all [bleep]. But this loss [bleeps] because you want to capitalize when you have a well-pitched game like that,' said Mo Vaughn, who was 0-for-3 with a double-play groundout. The Mets (24-21) remained in first in the NL East because Florida lost."

NY Post: Mets put Big Unit to Sweep; Jolt Johnson, Then get win on Bell's RBI in the Ninth. "When Bell’s slicing RBI single tailed just out of reach of a diving Travis Lee in right, Joe McEwing came around from second to score the final run of a 7-6 win over Arizona."
