From the Mets 3 Marlins 2 Game Notes

  • Mets: Earned their six walk-off win of the season, the most such wins in the majors...Each walk-off win this season has come in the series finale...Have won or split each of their last four series...Had lost or split their previous six series. 
  • Luis Severino (6.0 IP, 7 H, ER, 3 BB, 2 K): Has a 2.47 ERA (13 ER/47.1 IP) through his first eight home starts. 
  • Edwin Díaz (1.0 IP, K): Earned the win and recorded a 1-2-3 inning in his return from the IL.



NY Post: J.D. Martinez’s walk-off homer saves Mets from series loss to NL-East worst Marlins. "They didn’t get a hit until the sixth and had just a pair of hits heading into the ninth against Miami closer Tanner Scott. But in the ninth, a leadoff walk by Francisco Lindor was followed by a one-out, game-winning, two-run homer from J.D. Martinez. It gave the Mets a dramatic 3-2 win over the last-place Marlins, as they avoided a series defeat at Citi Field."


Baseball Reference2024 - It took him 14 seasons and 320 other long balls, but J.D. Martinez finally hits a walk-off homer, doing so off Tanner Scott of the Marlins with Francisco Lindor on base in the 9th inning to give the Mets a 3 - 2 win. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, this is the third most homers by anyone before a first walk-off shot, trailing only Mark Teixeira (408) and Jose Bautista (336).

Box Score: Yankees 7 Mets 6 


From the Yankees 7 Mets 6 - Post Game Notes

  • Mets: Fall to a season-worst five games under .500...Are 11-11 in one-run games this season. 
  • Brandon Nimmo (2-4, HR, RBI, 2 R): Put the Mets on the board with his eighth career leadoff home run (Last: October 4, 2022 vs. Washington)...Was his second career leadoff home run against the Yankees (Also: June 8, 2018 at Citi Field)...His eight leadoff homers are tied with Tommie Agee and Lenny Dykstra for third-most in Mets history...José Reyes and Curtis Granderson each hit 21...Joins Granderson (also two) as the only players with multiple leadoff home runs in the Subway Series. 
  • Luis Guillorme (1-5, RBI): Tied the game with an RBI single in the fifth...Was his first career RBI against the Yankees. 
  • Jeff McNeil (2-4, 2 RBI): Plated two runs with a single in the second...Has a .359 (28-78) career average against the Yankees, the second-best in Subway Series history behind Derek Jeter’s .364 (131-360) career average against the Mets (Min. 50 AB)...Has 11 multi-hit efforts through his first 21 career games against the Yankees...Was his first game with multiple RBI since May 7 vs. Colorado. 
  • Max Scherzer (3.1 IP, 7 H, 6 ER, 2 K): Allowed a season-high-tying six runs (Also: May 3 at Detroit). 
  • Drew Smith: Was ejected by Crew Chief Bill Miller after a substance check prior to the seventh inning. 
  • José Quintana: Threw 26 pitches over 1.1 scoreless inning in the first outing of his rehab assignment with St. Lucie...Allowed two hits and issued one walk.

Brian Joura Mets360: "The Mets scored two runs in the first two innings and tacked on another run in the third to go up, 5-1, with Max Scherzer on the mound. But Scherzer had trouble throwing strikes and when he did find the zone, the Yankees made him pay. They chased Scherzer from the mound with a five-run fourth inning."

NY Post: Brandon Nimmo knows outfield misplay was difference in Mets’ loss. "Brandon Nimmo’s bat provided the first Mets run. His glove helped the Yankees score their last. Nimmo’s up-and-down game will be remembered for the down. Nimmo allowed a would-be fly out to drop for a double, which led to the Yankees’ go-ahead run in a 7-6 Mets loss at Citi Field on Tuesday night." 

Mets Transcript: Postgame Pool Report Q&A With Crew Chief Bill Miller on Drew Smith's ejection - "Pool Reporter: Could you tell if it was a foreign substance? Bill Miller: I can't tell. All I know is whether or not, I don't know what's on his hand, all I know it was sticky, sticky to the touch. It stuck to my hands when I touched it. Not only his pitching hand, but his glove hand as well."

Tim Healey Newsday: Bullpen implosion dooms Mets in loss to Padres. “Without Edwin Diaz (rest), Seth Lugo (rest), Aaron Loup (rest) and Miguel Castro (tight neck), the Mets were shorthanded in the bullpen. Without Jonathan Villar (family matter) and Billy McKinney (sore right knee), they were shorthanded on the bench.” 


Mets.com: Mets' bullpen gamble on Familia falls flat. Walks hurt relievers; Barnes allows go-ahead slam to Tatis.  


Brian Joura Mets360: “The answer will be that they don’t like Lucchesi facing a lineup the third time…It’s a tone-deaf move…Removing Lucchesi before he faces a lineup a third time might be the correct move eight times out of 10. But this was not one of the eight.” (Subscription required).

NY Post: Mets’ forgotten flaw rears head in brutal loss to Braves. "Third base fill-in Danny Muno cost Jacob deGrom precious pitches with two errors and shortstop Wilmer Flores’ inability to turn a potential game-ending double play led to the Mets’ first loss after leading following eight innings, a 5-3 gut-punch defeat to the Braves in front of 37,734 at Citi Field...After Cameron Maybin drove in a run with a single, Collins called upon southpaw Alex Torres, but renowned Mets killer Freddie Freeman knocked in the tying run with a single to center, and costing deGrom a much-deserved win."

Wainwright pitches seven scoreless innings, while Matt Harvey (L,5-1) is saddled with his first loss of the year, in spite of a very good performance of his own.

Baseball ReferenceR.A. Dickey of the Mets tosses a one-hitter for a 9 - 1 win over the Rays. The only safety comes in the 1st inning, when B.J. Upton hits a high bouncer that 3B David Wright cannot field with his bare hand; the Mets appeal after the game for the ruling to be reversed to an error, but to no avail. Dickey becomes the majors' first 10-game winner this year, but before the night is out, he is joined by Lance Lynn of St. Louis, who fans a career-high 12 batters in a combined 1 - 0 shutout of the White SoxYou Tube Video.

NY Post: Mets roll six the hard way; Outslug Phillies to extend streak. "...in the bottom of the eighth with the Mets’ five-run lead having been whittled down to two and Jimmy Rollins on first with one out. Billy Wagner, the former Phillie, came in to face Chase Utley, one of Philly’s best hitters...After Wagner was booed while running in from the bullpen, the Met closer started by going 3-0 on Utley. He then got a 97 mph called strike and a 96 mph swinging strike and finally fired a 95 mph scorcher past a swinging Utley. On that pitch, meanwhile, Rollins tried to steal second, and catcher Paul Lo Duca threw him out on a short-hop peg for a gigantic inning-ending double play."
