NY Post: Jacob deGrom provides glimmer of Mets hope in pivotal win. “Over five innings deGrom resembled his usual self and the Mets eked out enough offense to snap a three-game skid with a 3-1 victory over the Rockies at Citi Field. ‘Everything felt good, my body felt good, so I am looking forward to hopefully running out there every five days for the rest of the year,’ deGrom said.”

Tomas Nido walks it off with a HR in the 13th inning.
NY Post: "[Tomas Nido] drilling a solo homer to right-center field in a 5-4, 13-inning victory over the Tigers at Citi Field...Nido’s solo shot completed a massive offensive display from Mets catchers. Before Nido took over behind the plate in the 12th, Wilson Ramos was the offense, hitting two home runs and driving in four runs. That production alone was enough for the Mets (25-26) to hold a 4-3 lead going into the eighth....For the first time since saying he was able to use Edwin Diaz for a four-out save, Callaway called on his closer with two outs in the eighth inning and the tying run on third. But Jacoby Jones, who burned the Mets on Friday night for four RBIs, blooped a single into right field to pull the Tigers even at 4-all."

Mets split a pair with the D-Backs. In game one, both teams swapped first inning runs and though getting 9 total hits, the Mets could never take the lead. Arizona broke the 1-1 tie in the 9th aided by a Daniel Murphy error that allowed the winning run to score.
In the nightcap, Daisuke Matsuzaka allowed just 2 runs in 6 innings and drove in a run with a single. Bobby Abreu, Daniel Murphy and Ruben Tejada drove in the others in the 4-2 win.

With a chance to keep the game tied, Edgardo Alfonzo threw the ball away. After Alfonzo’s error, Vaughn hesitated before throwing home, allowing another run to score."
