Brian Joura Mets360: "The Mets rallied back from a six-run deficit to take the lead but the bullpen couldn’t hold it, as they fell to the Rockies, 10-7, Saturday night in Denver...Justin Verlander needed just eight pitches to retire the side in the first inning. He then proceeded to give up five runs in the second and another in the third."


Metstradamus: "[Francisco Alvarez] capped a five run rally with a three run HR to tie the game 6-6, and I’m sure we all thought that the Mets would go on to pound this Rockies bullpen for three more innings. They did get another run on a Starling Marte single in the 7th to take the lead, but that was all they got."


Yahoo Sports: "In the back-and-forth nature of Saturday’s contest, the Rockies immediately responded in the bottom of the frame on a two-run go-ahead home run from McMahon to the second deck in right field off of Jeff Brigham."

Box Score: Mets 8 Phillies 6; From last night's Mets Post Game Notes:

  • Pete Alonso (2-2, HR, 4 RBI, R, BB): Launched a two-run home run in the third for his 400th career hit...Leads the majors with 45 RBI and is tied for second in the NL with 12 home runs.
    • Has five games with at least four RBI, the most in the majors
    • Tied with Willie Montañez (1978) for most RBI by a Met in the month of May with 28.
    • Has 45 RBI before Memorial Day breaking the franchise record previously held by Bernard Gilkey (44 RBI in 1996).
  • Carlos Carrasco (5.2 IP, 6 H, 5 ER, BB, 7 K): Earned his fifth win of the season, tying Max Scherzer for the team lead...The Mets join the Brewers and Dodgers as the only teams in the majors with at least two pitchers with five or more wins this season...Has won his fourth consecutive decision.


NY Post: Pete Alonso sparks Mets’ big day on offense in win over Phillies. Friday night was yet another dominant performance. Alonso homered, drove in four runs and made a sparkling play in the field to save at least one run as the Mets continued their strong start against the Phillies with an 8-6 victory in front of 30,175 at Citi Field to begin a six-game homestand.


Laura Albanese Newsday: "The Mets scored the first seven runs of the game before the Phillies’ sixth-inning rally, and three of those runs came in the first — in part courtesy of the Phillies’ continued defensive woes....[Chasen] Shreve hung a splitter to Stubbs, who homered to make it 7-6. " 


Metstradamus: Fattening Up By The Slimmest Of Margins. 


Brian Joura Mets360: "...Edwin Diaz came on with filthy stuff, struck out Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos after a one-out bloop hit to close the game and give the Mets an 8-6 win over the Phillies Friday night at Citi Field. The Mets are now 7-3 against the Phillies this year."

NY Post: Chase Utley nearly claimed Mets fans’ hearts as next victim. "Playing at Citi Field for the first time since he became Public Enemy No. 1 during Game 2 of the NLDS, when his takeout slide of Ruben Tejada knocked the then-Mets shortstop out of the playoffs with a broken leg, Utley was booed lustily throughout the Mets’ 6-5 win over the Dodgers on Friday night...Despite the fans’ vitriol, Utley was able to crush a game-tying, three-run double with two outs in the top of the ninth off closer Jeurys Familia...His heroics quickly were erased by Curtis Granderson’s walkoff homer in the bottom of the inning, but Utley no doubt made another impression on the Mets."


David Wright also homered in the game in what would be the last HR he ever hits in his career - #242 - number 2 on the all time Mets list, 10 behind Darryl Strawberry.

NY Post: Murphy’s clutch single leads Mets over Yankees. "With the game 1-1 in the eighth, Mike Baxter hit a bloop double before Jordany Valdespin walked with one out. After a passed ball by Chris Stewart allowed the runners to advance, Baxter was out at the plate on a fielder’s choice with Ruben Tejada batting. Murphy then delivered with a sharp single to give the Mets their first lead...Bobby Parnell worked a scoreless ninth for his eighth save in 10 chances. Parnell walked Ichiro Suzuki, but struck out Lyle Overbay and retired Travis Hafner to end it."

NY Post: Dickey dominates as Mets beat Padres. Dickey struck out 10 to reach double digits for strikeouts in consecutive games for the first time in his career, and the Mets held the Padres scoreless for the second straight day with a 2-0 win Sunday....Dickey (7-1) struck out 11 Pirates on Tuesday. He is the first Mets pitcher to have back-to-back games with at least 10 Ks since Pedro Martinez did it in May 2006...The Mets brought back Banner Day for the first time since 1996 as part of their season-long 50th anniversary celebration."

Baseball Reference: Mike Pelfrey pitches the Mets' third consecutive shutout over the Phillies, 3 - 0 at Citi Field. The Phillies' hitting woes started even before coming to New York, when they were shut out for eight innings by veteran knuckleballer Tim Wakefield two days before facing the Mets. The Mets' own knuckleballer, R.A. Dickey, baffled the Phils in the first game of the series, followed by Japanese rookie Hisanori Takahashi in the second game. The Mets have only swept a series with three shutouts one other time in their history, during their Amazin' year of 1969, also against Philadelphia.



Angel Pagan made a great catch in CF and Jose Reyes drove in two to support Mike Pelfry.
