NY Post: Mets beat Pirates; Niese with solid outing. "Niese allowed one run in 7 2-3 innings, ending a six-start winless streak...Niese (3-2) gave up five hits, struck out five and walked two, five days after matching his career high by allowing eight runs in a 14-5 loss at Toronto....Kirk Nieuwenhuis reached on a one-out single in the first and scored on Lucas Duda’s single. Nieuwenhuis sacrifice fly and David Wright’s RBI double — the only extra-base hit for the Mets — made it 3-0 in the fifth."

"Mark Johnson didn’t have a hit all month...Mired in an 0-for-15 slump, Johnson faced Phillies closer Jose Mesa yesterday afternoon as a pinch hitter with two on and one out in the ninth inning of a scoreless game...The left-hander doubled home Joe McEwing with the go-ahead run, and closer Armando Benitez retired the heart of the Phillies’ order in the bottom of the ninth to save the Mets’ 1-0 victory and prevent a sweep...Starter Steve Trachsel was magnificent over six shutout innings. Of the 22 batters he faced, Trachsel threw first-pitch strikes to 18."

National Pastime.com: Kaz Matsui, who surpasses Tommy Agee's 1969 team record, sets a franchise mark with his fifth leadoff home run of the season, becoming the first Mets player to accomplish the feat in consecutive games. The 28 year-old Japanese shortstop is also the first big leaguer to have his first five career round-trippers be hit batting first in the first inning of a game.
Baseball Reference: 2004: The Mets down the Rockies‚ 4 - 0‚ as Tom Glavine hurls a one-hitter. Glavine loses his no-hitter with two outs in the 8th inning as Kit Pellow doubles. Kaz Matsui leads off the game with a homer for New York‚ the 5th time he has done so this year to tie Chili Davis for the most leadoff homers for a National League rookie. He hit one yesterday as well.
