Brian Joura Mets360: "The Mets put on an offensive show on Sunday. Unfortunately, so did their pitchers. The end result was an 11-10 setback."


NY Post: Tylor Megill, Mets pitchers battered in loss to Rockies despite offensive eruption. "Megill became the second straight Mets starter, joining Justin Verlander the previous night, to struggle. Megill was knocked out after four innings in which he allowed six runs (two unearned on his own error) on 10 hits and two walks over four innings...Stephen Nogosek got shelled in the fifth, allowing a two-run homer to Charlie Blackmon after Austin Wynns had delivered an RBI double. Ryan McMahon concluded Nogosek’s pounding in the inning with a two-run homer that extended the Rockies’ lead to 11-6." 


Newsday: Alvarez’s three-run homer highlighted the Mets’ six-run rally in the fourth.

John Fox Mets360: "The Mets cruised to an 8-2 victory over their division rival the Phils before a crowd of 37,445 at Citi Field. The first-place Mets improved their record to 31-17. The home-town nine drew first blood in the second when Starling Marte motored into third base on a single to right by Mark Canha, and then scored on a Dom Smith sac fly."


NY Post: "Lindor continued his recent hot streak with three RBIs (he has driven in a run in six straight games, a career-high) and two runs scored. Alonso set a Mets record for most RBIs in the month of May with 29, after driving in a run with a sacrifice fly. McNeil produced the big blow, a go-ahead, three-run homer in the fourth through raindrops, continuing a season-long trend of the Mets responding immediately after falling behind."
