1 Year ago today: 2021; Game #76: Tuesday, Jun 29; NYM 4 @ ATL 3;  boxscore; WP: Smith; LP: Minter; Save: Diaz; Time: 3:15; NIGHT; Attendance: 29,274;

Jeff McNeil 2B 1 for 3, 2 Ks; Francisco Lindor SS 1 for 3, 1 RBI, 2 Ks; James McCann C 1 for 3, HR, 3 RBIs, 1 run scored, 1 walk, 1 K; Tylor Megill 5 innings, 3 runs – all earned, 5 hits, 1 HR, 2 walks, 8 Ks; Drew Smith (W, 3-1) 1 inning, no runs, no hits, 2 walks; Edwin Diaz (S, 17) 1 inning, no runs, no hits;   

NY Post: Wild inning saves Mets in much-needed win over Braves. “Dominic Smith singled leading off the [7th] inning for the Mets’ fifth hit and Kevin Pillar walked to give the Mets their first rally. McCann jumped on a 1-2 cutter and just cleared the fence in left-center for his seventh homer of the season.”

Mets.com: Mets ride late power surge to win vs. Braves. “Like Morton, Mets starter Tylor Megill ended his night by giving up a three-run home run, this one to Ozzie Albies in the fifth inning. Still, with eight strikeouts over his five frames, Megill provided a compelling performance as he works to bolster his spot in the rotation.”

Stat of the Day: “Two starts into his MLB career, Tylor Megill has seen only one team: the Atlanta Braves. With his start on Tuesday, Megill became the sixth pitcher in Mets history to start against the same opponent in his first two MLB games. The last Met to do that was Brian Bannister, who debuted with a pair of starts against the Nationals back in April 2006.”

Baseball Reference2011: Suddenly, the Mets are scoring at a record pace, even with a topsy turvy line-up that features C Ronny Paulino batting clean-up. They pound the Tigers, 16 - 9, to set a team record with 52 runs over their last four games. Paulino and Angel Pagan have four hits apiece, and Scott Hairston hits a bases-loaded triple. Utility player Don Kelly gets the final out of the game, the only Tiger hurler not to give up a run in the game. The Bengals hit five homers - two by Miguel Cabrera - to no avail.

Baseball Reference2009In Milwaukee, 3B Casey McGehee plays both the goat and the hero. In the top of the 6th, his drop of a routine pop fly leads to two New York runs; in the bottom of the inning, he hits his first career grand slam; in the 7th, he takes his time fielding a ground ball off the bat of Gary Sheffield, leading to an infield hit and another run; he is then removed in a double switch. Still, the Brewers bang out 19 hits, including 4 by J.J. Hardy and 3 by Jason Kendall, for a 10 - 6 win. With the loss, the Mets fall below .500.
