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. "

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."

1969

The day after he becomes a father, Randy Hundley hits a grand slam and a double, driving in five runs in Chicago's 9-8 victory over the Giants at Candlestick Park. The eight-pound, four-ounce baby boy named Todd will follow in his dad's footsteps, becoming a major league catcher, receiving for the Mets, Dodgers, and the Cubs.

1969

In a game that features Jerry Koosman striking out 15 batters to set a franchise mark, Bud Harrelson's 11th-inning single plates Cleon Jones to give Tug McGraw and the Mets a 1-0 triumph over the Padres at Shea Stadium. The contest marks the first victory of the team's record 11-game winning streak, which includes three walk-off wins.

 

1989

With runners on second and third, no outs, and the Mets and Dodgers tied at 3-3 in the 12th inning, home plate umpire Bob Davidson calls a balk against Roger McDowell which scores the winning run in the Chavez Ravine contest. Dave Anderson is waved home when the New York reliever fails to pause and make a discernible stop.

Baseball Reference:

2008 - In a rare big-name match-up in A ball, the Vero Beach Devil Rays beat the St. Lucie Mets, 2 - 0. Pedro Martinez, a three-time Cy Young Award winner on a rehab start, allows two runs in six innings to take the loss. The win goes to David Price, the top pick of the 2008 amateur draft, making his second pro start. Price allows two hits and no walks in six shutout frames, fanning nine. Martinez says: "He's amazing, that kid." 

2010: Corey Hart hits a two-run homer in the bottom of the 9th inning to give the Milwaukee Brewers a 2 - 0 win over the New York Mets at Miller Park. The homer ends a string of 35 consecutive scoreless innings by Mets pitching.

2013:The Mets honor Yankees great Mariano Rivera, who has announced his retirement at the end of the year, by having him throw the ceremonial first pitch before the game between the two teams from the Big Apple at Citi Field, with retired Mets closer John Franco acting as his catcher for the occasion. However, the night doesn't end so well for Mo, as Daniel Murphy leads off the bottom of the 9th with a double and David Wright and Lucas Duda follow RBI singles to turn a 1 - 0 deficit into a 2 - 1 win. It is the first time of Mariano's illustrious career that he blows a save without retiring a single batter; it is also his first blown save of the year. (Box Score).

2016 In the 3rd inning of a game against the Dodgers, Mets P Noah Syndergaard is ejected for throwing at Chase Utley, in apparent retaliation for Utley's aggressive slide which injured Mets SS Ruben Tejada in last year's NLDS. Umpire Adam Hamari also tosses Mets manager Terry Collins for arguing his decision, then Utley gets his revenge when he opens the score with a solo homer off Logan Verrett in the 6th and adds a grand slam off Hansel Robles in the 7th. The Dodgers hit five homers in total as they win the game, 9 - 1.

Amazing Avenue: This Date In Mets History: May 28, 2006 — El Duque wins in his debut with Amazins. Orlando Hernandez joined the rotation on this date in 2006 and Jose Valentin took over as everyday second-baseman.
