Mets get a big come from behind win against the Yankees in 2001, Nimmo and Cabrera go back to back to come back against Arizona in 2018, Keith Hernandez plays his first game with the Mets, and Marvelous Marv misses a base or two hitting a triple in 1962. Just a few of the games the Mets have played on June 17th.
1 Year ago today:
Jonathan Villar 3B 1 for 4, double, 2 Ks; Billy McKinney RF 1 for 3, double; Marcus Stroman (L, 6-5) 7 innings, 4 hits, 2 runs – both earned, 1 walk, 8 Ks;
NY Post: Mets miss out on sweep after getting outdueled by Cubs. "Kyle Hendricks and three relievers combined on a two-hitter to send the Mets to their fourth shutout loss of the season on Thursday night, this one 2-0, as the Cubs avoided a four-game sweep this week with the victory at Citi Field...Marcus Stroman spotted the Cubs two runs just three batters and five pitches into the game — on a Javy Baez two-run home run — but the right-hander rebounded, and departed trailing 2-0 after seven strong innings.

In a play that is indicative of the struggling Mets, first baseman Marv Throneberry's apparent first-inning triple becomes an out on an appeal play for missing second base in an 8-7 loss to the Cubs at the Polo Grounds. When New York manager Casey Stengel questions the call, he is told by the umpire, according to legend, "Don't bother arguing, Casey, he missed first base, too."
Gene Woodling becomes the first major leaguer to play for both the Yankees and the Mets. In his National League debut, the 38 year-old outfielder goes 2-for-4, scoring two runs for the new expansion team in an 8-7 loss to the Cubs at the Polo Grounds.
Baseball Reference: 1962 - Chicago Cubs outfielder Lou Brock hits a home run into the right-center field bleachers at the Polo Grounds, 460 feet from home plate, in the first game of a Chicago doubleheader sweep over the New York Mets, 8 - 7 and 4 - 3. Known more for his speed than his power, Brock becomes the second player to reach that section of seats. Joe Adcock was the first.

NY Post: What looked like a backbreaker becomes a stunning Mets rally. "Almost roadkill, on the verge of another maddening defeat, the Mets assembled a rally that ranked as maybe their best of 2018, injecting at least some hope into a team gasping for relevancy. The ninth-inning party culminated with Nimmo stroking a two-run, go-ahead homer against Brad Boxberger and Cabrera following with an insurance blast in a 5-3 victory over the Diamondbacks at Chase Field."
