Mets Games Played On This Date: June 20th


Dillon Gee helps the Mets sweep the O's in 2012, Steve Trachsel flirts with perfection in 2002, and the Mets conclude a great series against the cards in 1982 with a dramatic extra inning win.  Just a few of the games the Mets have played on June 20th. 

1 Year ago today: 2021; Game #66: Sunday, Jun 20; NYM 2 @ WSN 5;  boxscore; WP: Corbin; LP: Walker; Save: Hand; Time: 2:49; DAY;  Attendance: 30,371;

Francisco Lindor SS 1 for 4; Pete Alonso 1B 1 for 4, HR, 1 run scored, 1 RBI; Kevin Pillar RF 1 for 2, HR, 1 RBI, 1 walk, 1 K; Taijuan Walker 6.1 innings, 4 runs – all earned, 10 hits, 2 HRs, 5 Ks; Familia 2/3 innings, 1 run – earned, 2 hits, 1 HR, 2 Ks; Drew Smith 1 inning, no runs, 1 hit, 1 K;

Mike Puma NY Post: Kyle Schwarber’s three home runs torment Mets in loss to Nationals. “The momentum of their previous week, when they beat up on the Padres and Cubs — two legitimate playoff contenders — has dissipated and now the Mets have to figure out how to survive a steady diet of NL East competition.”

MLB.com: Schwarber ties MLB record: 5 HR in 2 games.

Brain Joura Mets360: “Walker left with the Mets trailing, 3-2. But Jeurys Familia came on and gave up Schwarber’s third homer of the game. Remember when all the hits off Familia were bleeders? Good times, good times. Familia has now given up 8 ER in his last 11.2 IP.”

Steve Trachsel retired the first 19 batters he faced as he took a  no hitter into the 7th inning.

NY Post: Bidding to become the first Met to toss a no-hitter, the right-hander took a perfect game into the seventh inning before yielding a one-out single to Minnesota’s Cristian Guzman. Although Trachsel ran out of steam by allowing three straight ninth-inning singles, he and Armando Benitez combined for a crucial 3-2 victory over the Twins...Mike Piazza belted his 14th homer of the season...With two outs in the eighth and Trachsel on base after a single, Edgardo Alfonzo crushed his third homer of the season"
