Mets (20-10) @ Nationals (10-20), 7:05 pm

WSN: Patrick Corbin (#46, 32, LHP, 0-5, 7.16)

Uni-Watch: Mets’ Seaver Statue Has Wrong Uni Number Font. "On the back of the statue, the “4” in Seaver’s familiar No. 41 is wrong — it doesn’t have the little stub extending off the right side of the numeral."  They go on to interview the sculptor who confirms the mistake.  Uni-Watch is typically a subscription service but they have made this article free for a limited time.

ICYMI, Jay Horowitz Mets Insider Blog: Sending Love to John Stearns. Jay called attention to how John is battling a disease.  His son says he loves seeing messages from his old fans on his facebook page → https://bit.ly/3LYt0nM.

1993

Marlins right-hander Ryan Bowen hurls the first complete game in franchise history. The 25 year-old gives a lone run on three hits but loses the Shea Stadium contest, 1-0, to the Mets' Bret Saberhagen, who also goes the distance.

2011

Bill Gallo, the creator of colorful characters such as General Von Steingraber, a caricature of the late George Steinbrenner, and Basement Bertha, who radiated good-humored optimism for the fans of the fledgling Mets, dies from complications of pneumonia at the age of 88. The cartoonist's final published drawing, which appeared last month in the Daily News, his employer for seven decades, featured Bertha window shopping with the hope of being invited to the royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine.

 Baseball Reference:

1971 - At New York, Bud Harrelson's 2-run single in the 7th beats Houston and Wade Blasingame, 2 - 1. It is Blasingame's first loss to the Mets after nine wins.

1975 - Will McEnaney provides 3 1/3 innings of hitless relief to seal the Reds' 7 - 1 win over the Mets. Clay Kirby gets the win.

2000: The Pirates defeat the Mets, 13 - 9, as Wil Cordero goes 5 for 5 with a double, home run, and four RBIs. The Mets' Rickey Henderson becomes the 21st major-leaguer to garner 10,000 at bats in his career. Henderson finishes the night with 10,002 at-bats and trails only Cal Ripken Jr., among active players.

2010: The Nationals move to second place in the NL East with a 3 - 2 win over the Mets. Adam Kennedy and Ryan Zimmerman hit back-to-back homers in support of rookie Luis Atilano's pitching. The Nats are now 4 games above .500 for the first time since September of 2005. After the game, the struggling Mets designate veteran Frank Catalanotto for assignment and call up OF Chris Carter from AAA Buffalo.
