Mets 4 Nationals 2 (Box Score) Francisco Lindor SS 2 for 5, Stolen Base, 2 Ks; J.D. Davis DH 1 for 3, 1 RBI, 1 run scored, 1 walk; Jeff McNeil 2B 2 for 3, double, 2 RBIs, 1 walk; Carlos Carrasco (W,3-1) 6.2 innings, 2 runs - both earned, 7 hits, 5 Ks; 

Metstradamus: "But this year, the Mets as a whole have been making contact and getting hits that were more timely. As for McNeil? He’s been the McNeil we fell in love with in 2018 and 2019."

NY Post: Carlos Carrasco’s gem propels Mets past rival Nationals. "On Tuesday, the veteran right-hander worked into the seventh inning or beyond for a third time in four starts to lead the Mets’ 4-2 victory over the Nationals"

Newsday: Pete Alonso’s single, J.D. Davis’ single and Eduardo Escobar’s walk loaded the bases with one out for McNeil, the Mets’ leading hitter and No. 8 batter. He ripped a double down off the glove of first baseman Josh Bell and down the rightfield line. James McCann’s sacrifice fly to right put the Mets ahead.

Deesha Thosar New York Daily News Jacob deGrom takes big step toward return as Met ace starts to throw off flat ground. "DeGrom is throwing from 60 feet at “light intensity,” per Mets GM Billy Eppler. His follow-up MRI – which will be his third round of imaging since April 1 – is scheduled in approximately one week. If that MRI shows more healing, and deGrom continues telling the Mets that he feels good, that will indicate to the medical staff and team officials that the right-hander is ready to increase his workload."

Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com: 

Born today May 11:

1972

The cash-strapped Giants, after promising the club would never trade him, send Willie Mays to New York, the city where he began his Hall of Fame career in 1951, for right-hander Charlie Williams and $50,000 cash. San Francisco owner Horace Stoneham, who could not guarantee his aging superstar an income after the outfielder retired, extracts a promise from the Mets that they will pay the 'Say Hey Kid' $50,000 a year for the ten years after the future Hall of Famer stops playing.

1996

On 'John Franco Day,' the New York veteran reliever is ejected from the game, along with eight other players, as the result of participating in a fifth-inning bench-clearing brawl at Shea Stadium. Prior to the game the Mets celebrated their closer's recent 300th career save, but his unavailability in the ninth leads to three hurlers combining to give up the tying runs in the team's eventual 7-6 walk-off victory over Chicago.

 

1998

Striking out 13 Diamondbacks, Cubs' Kerry Wood sets a major league record for strikeouts in consecutive games with 33 in two games. The previous record for strikeouts (32) in two starts was held by Luis Tiant (1968 - Indians), Nolan Ryan (1974 - Angels), Dwight Gooden (1984 - Mets), and Randy Johnson (1997 - Mariners).

1999

For the first time this century, two starting major league pitchers share the same name as the Rockies southpaw Bobby M. Jones bests right hander Bobby J. Jones and the Mets.

 

2008

At Shea Stadium, a 13-minute delay occurs in the beginning of the ninth of the Mets' 8-3 victory over the Reds, when David Ross bats out of order, making an out in Corey Patterson's place in the lineup. The very confused umpires eventually make the correct call, telling Ross to bat again, now with one out, without his teammate having an opportunity to come to the plate.

2012

The Mets play their 8,000th game in franchise history, dropping a 6-5 decision in Miami when closer Frank Francisco allows the tying and winning runs to score in the bottom of the ninth inning. During the thousand game span, the Amazins have compiled a 515-485 record, with third baseman David Wright being the team's top home run hitter and run producer with 143 round-trippers and 595 RBIs.

 Baseball Reference:

1972 - Tom Seaver wins his 100th game in a 2 - 1 New York Mets victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Mets also acquire veteran outfielder Willie Mays from the San Francisco Giants for pitcher Charlie Williams and $50,000.
