NY Post: Mets ride Dickey to 3-2 win over Pirates.  "Lucas Duda smacked a go-ahead RBI-single in the top of the eighth in support of starter R.A. Dickey...Dickey (6-1) struck out a career-high 11 in seven innings, giving up one run on four hits to move into a tie with a host of others for the most wins in the majors. Frank Francisco pitched the ninth for his 11th save." 

20 Years ago today: 2002; Game #46; Wednesday;  May 22, NYM 2 @ PHI boxscore;  WP: Adams LP: Leiter Save: Mesa Time: 02:29; NIGHT; Attendance: 22,640

NY Post: Mets run out of excuses; Goofs on bases pave way for Phillies. "On the field, the club’s excellent pitching has faltered a bit during three straight losses..Starter Al Leiter entered his start with a 1.74 ERA, best in the National League. But the outing quickly turned sour after he retired the first two hitters in the first inning. Pat Burrell, an absolute Met killer, stroked a well-placed two-out, two-run double to left-center to put Philly ahead 2-0....The Mets blew a chance to cut the lead in half in the second, when Jeromy Burnitz couldn’t touch home before Jay Payton was gunned down trying to go from first to third on a single to center by Rey Ordonez." 

30 Years ago today: 1992; Game #43; Friday;  May 22, NYM 6 @ SFG boxscore;  WP: Downs LP: Burke Save: Righetti Time: 02:58; NIGHT; Attendance: 17,962

A 6th run 6 inning by the Giants turned a 5-1 Mets lead into a 7-5 deficit.  Dick Schofield doubled a run in the 9th off Dave Righetti but was stranded at 2nd as Dave Magadan made the final out.

40 Years ago today: 1982; Game #40; Saturday;  May 22, NYM 6 @ HOU boxscore 12 innings   WP: Allen LP: Moffitt Save: Time: 03:29; NIGHT; Attendance: 33,253

Neil Allen came into the 9th with the bases loaded and the Mets leading the Astros 5 - 1.  One Terry Puhl grand slam later and the game was tied.  Allen settled down to pitch scoreless ball in the 10th, 11th and 12th and helped the winning run score when he reached on an error.  

60 Years ago today: 1962; Game #33; Tuesday;  May 22, NYM 2 @ HOU boxscore;  WP: Farrell LP: Hook Save: Time: 02:00; NIGHT; Attendance: 11,980

With the score tied at 1 in the 8th, Jay Hook gave up a two run triple.  In the top of the 9th with 1 out and the tying runs on base, instead of sending up a pinch hitter, Casey sent up Jay Hook who K'd.  Richie Ashburn then singled in a run to make it 3-2 but with the tying run on 3rd, Elio Chacon grounded out to end the game.  

Here is the full list of Mets games played on May 22nd.

Baseball Reference: Veteran OF Rajai Davis has a surreal day: at 5:00 PM, he is taking batting practice with the Syracuse Mets in Allentown, PA, in anticipation of an evening game against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs of the International League. That's when he gets the news that he has been called up to the major league Mets. He hires a driver to take him to Citi Field and after a two-hour ride, arrives there in the 3rd inning. He gets lost on his way to the clubhouse and has to ask for directions. He finally meets his manager and teammates in the 5th. He is then sent to pinch-hit for Drew Gagnon in the bottom of the 8th and hits a three-run homer off Sean Doolittle of the Nationals, capping a six-run inning. The Mets win the game, 6 - 1.
