Tim Healey Newsday: Mets' win streak ends at seven with loss to Rangers after Drew Smith allows tie-breaking homer in seventh. "The difference in the finale with Texas (34-40), which snapped a five-game losing streak: Leody Taveras’ two-run home run off former Rangers fan Drew Smith in the seventh.  Smith left a fastball on the inner third of the plate, and Taveras blasted it an estimated 405 feet to right-centerfield." 


NY Post: Mets’ win streak ends at seven as bullpen falters in loss to Rangers “Manaea lasted 5 ²/₃ innings and allowed three earned runs on two hits with three walks and a hit batter.  Manaea needed 36 pitches to get through the first inning, but surrendered only one run.  Manaea walked Grossman, Adolis Garcia and Josh Smith in succession with two outs to load the bases before plunking Wyatt Langford to give the Rangers a 1-0 lead.” 


Brian Joura Mets360: "But the Mets tied the game in the fourth inning. Brandon Nimmo led off with an excuse-me double and he came around to score on a double by Starling Marte. And they took the lead in the top of the sixth, when Pete Alonso hit a two-run homer." 


Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: "For a moment, the Mets looked as though they would win a season-high eight straight. But the Rangers came right back to tie the game in the bottom of the inning with left-hander Sean Manaea running into trouble. With one out and one on, Josh Smith pulled the ball deep to the right field corner to drive in Robbie Grossman, cutting the Mets’ lead to one. Sean Reid-Foley then relieved Manaea and gave up an RBI single to Wyatt Langford."

Box Score: Mets 11 Astros 1 Brandon Nimmo CF 0 for 5, 3 Ks; Starling Marte RF 2 for 5, 2 runs scored, 1 RBI; Francisco Lindor SS 2 for 5, HR (14th), double, 5 RBIs, 2 runs scored, 2 K; Pete Alonso 1B 1 for 4, 1 run scored, 1 walk, 1 K; Tommy Pham LF 2 for 4, double, 1 RBI, 2 runs scored, 1 walk; Jeff McNeil 2B 2 for 5, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 Stolen Base (4th); Daniel Vogelbach DH 2 for 5, HR (4th), 1 run scored, 3 RBIs, 1 K; Brett Baty 3B 2 for 5, 2 runs scored, 2 Ks; Francisco Alvarez C 1 for 3, 1 run scored, 1 walk, 1 K; Max Scherzer 8 innings, 1 run - earned, 4 hits, 1 HR, 1 walk, 8 Ks; Grant Hartwig 1 inning, no runs, 1 hit, 1 walk; 


Brian Joura Mets360: "Max Scherzer bounced back from two bad outings with eight strong innings and the Mets batted around twice, leading to an 11-1 win over the Astros in the opener of a three-game series Monday night in Houston. The Mets had lost their last seven games versus their fellow expansion mates."


NY Post: Max Scherzer looks like vintage self as Mets beat Astros in laugher. "Scherzer allowed just five base runners and one run in eight excellent and efficient innings...Grant Hartwig, who was called up earlier in the day, made his major league debut in a scoreless ninth."


Metstradamus: "Vogey’s three RBI and Lindor’s five highlighted five run innings in the third and ninth as the Mets took the quiet car to an 11-1 victory over the Astros"



Year: 2022; Game#68; Sunday  Jun 19 NYM 2 Vs. MIA 6; boxscore;  WP: Alcantara; LP: Bassitt; Time: 3:02; DAY; Attendance: 41,255;  Record: 44-24; Standings: 1; Games up/behind: up 5.5; L; 


Box Score: Marlins 6 Mets 2;  


From the Mets Post Game notes:  

  • Chris Bassitt (6.1 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 9 K): Faced the Marlins for the first time in his career...Registered a season-high nine strikeouts, his most in a game since 5/27/21.
  • Francisco Lindor (1-4, RBI): Opened the scoring with an RBI single to center field in the sixth inning.

Brian Joura Mets360: "The Marlins busted out with a 5-run seventh inning, breaking open a pitcher’s duel and leading to a 6-2 win over the Mets Sunday afternoon at Citi Field." 


Metstradamus: "...when the Mets scratched out a two out run in the 6th on a Francisco Lindor RBI single, it seemed like the Mets really had a chance to overcome one of the best pitchers on the planet. But Bassitt gave up two singles and a walk which sandwiched an out, and Buck Showalter brought in Seth Lugo to face Jerar Encarnacion, who was playing in his first ever game...Jerar just smiled and gave Seth Lugo a vegemite sandwich. (Your definition of vegemite may vary.) His grand slam was the difference in a 6-2 Mets loss..." 


Mets.com: Bassitt 'gave his all' in 6 1/3-inning start

    Baseball Reference: Rookie 1B Cody Bellinger hits a pair of homers in the Dodgers' 10 - 6 win over the Mets. In doing so, he overtakes both Wally Berger (in 1930) and Gary Sanchez (in 2016), who had hit 20 homers in their first 51 major league games, as he now has 21 long balls. That total leads the National League even though Bellinger spent the first three weeks of the season in the minors.

    Mike Puma NY Post: Putrid infield strikes again as Mets waste deGrom’s gem. "On Friday, disaster struck the Mets in the eighth inning, after Wilmer Flores made a late throw to first base with a drawn-in infield. The Mets never recovered and lost their third straight, 2-1 to the Braves at Turner Field.  Jacob deGrom had a brilliant night’s work flushed when Jace Peterson slammed a two-run double over Juan Lagares’ head in center field to give the Braves the lead. The hit came against lefty Sean Gilmartin, but the runs were charged to deGrom, who deserved better...Michael Cuddyer’s RBI single in the sixth gave the Mets a 1-0 lead. Tejada opened the inning with a double before Cuddyer delivered a chopper over third base for his 24th RBI of the season.

    A 1st inning David Wright Home Run is the only run Wheeler needed.

    NY Post: "Johan Santana (W,5-3) pitched six sharp innings, Lucas Duda hit a two-run homer, and the Mets beat Baltimore 5-0 on Tuesday night for their second straight shutout of the Orioles. Santana followed R.A. Dickey’s second one-hitter in a row with his best outing since he tossed a no-hitter on June 1. Jordany Valdespin added a two-run single for New York..." 


    This will turn out to be Santana's next to last win in his MLB career.

    NY Post: "It was Fernando Nieve (W,2-0) to the Mets’ rescue once again Friday night as the unheralded right-hander was strong once again in a much-needed, 5-3 win over the Rays at Citi Field...Nieve pitched three-hit ball over six innings, Brian Schneider slammed his first home run of the season, a 3-run shot, Francisco Rodriguez recorded his 18th save, and the Mets bounced back from one of their gut-punch defeats to topple Tampa Bay, 5-3, at Citi Field."

    NationalPastime.com: On the bus ride to Shea Stadium to take on the Mets in an interleague contest, Twins' color commentator Bert Blyleven says he will have his head shaved if tonight's starter, Johan Santana, throws a complete-game shutout.

    Pitch Imperfect – Glavine, Met Pen flop in loss to Mariners; end West swing 1-5. "On a day the Mets’ lumber produced five runs and 10 hits, the hurlers were terrible. And the Mets left the West Coast last night in shambles...Glavine pitched his shortest non-injury-related outing as a Met, lasting just 2 1/3 innings and giving up six runs on eight hits and two walks. When he left, the Mets trailed 6-1. The Mets later battled back to cut the lead to 6-5 heading into the bottom of the sixth. But the relief combination of Mike DeJean, Royce Ring and Heath Bell allowed four runs in the sixth and one more in the seventh. The Mariners ripped 17 hits, tied for the most allowed by Mets pitching this season."

    NY Post: He's back: Reyes debuts - And Cam's a Hero again. "After a three-month absence, Reyes finally returned to the Mets last night, and it took him about seven innings to show off his supreme talent. Reyes used his blinding speed to create and score the game-tying run in the eighth, then drove a triple in the 10th to set up the Mets’ game-winning rally. The Mets won it, 4-3, when Mike Cameron delivered his second straight walkoff hit, this one a bases-loaded single that bounced over the left-field wall. The surging Mets (33-34) have won three straight and five of six.

    NY Post: It's all Leit now: Amazin' Al sticks it to Minnesota. Leiter, who came into the year with a career .093 average over 12 years...crushed a one-out double that one-hopped the wall in right in the fifth, igniting a two-run rally that wiped out a 1-0 Twins lead. Leiter singled in the sixth, giving him his fifth multi-hit game of his career...who struck out eight and surrendered only five hits and one run over 71/3 innings to improve to 7-6. His last double came nearly three years ago."
