Year: 2021; Game#77; Wednesday  Jun 30 NYM 2 @ ;ATL; 20; boxscore;  WP: Fried; LP: Peterson; Time: 3:21; NIGHT; Attendance: 28,405;  Record: 42-35; Standings: 1; Games up/behind: up 2.5; L;

Kevin Pillar CF 1 for 3, 1 run scored;  Francisco Lindor SS 0 for 2, 1 K; Pete Alonso 1B 1 for 2, HR, 2 RBIs, 1 run scored; David Peterson (L, 2-6) 3 innings, 6 runs – 5 earned, 8 hits, 1 HR, 1 walk, 2 Ks; Sean Reid-Foley 1.3 inning, 5 runs – 4 earned, 4 hits, 1 walk; Thomas Szapucki 3.2 innings, 6 runs – all earned, 7 hits, 2 HRs, 3 walks, 4 Ks, Albert Almora jr. 1 inning, 3 runs – all earned, 1 hit, 1 HR, 1 walk, 1 HBP;

NY Post: Mets demolished 20-2 by Braves, lose David Peterson to injury. “David Peterson departed the mound with the trainer in the fourth inning, ending a brutal performance. The left-hander exited with right side soreness,.”

Mets.com: “New York jumped out to a two-run lead in the first at Truist Park, but Atlanta fired back early and often to hand the Mets a 20-2 loss. In a disastrous fourth inning, the Mets spent over half an hour in the field as the Braves sent 12 batters to the plate and scored seven of them. Matters hardly improved from there, and the Mets allowed 20-plus runs for just the fourth time in franchise history.”

Brian Joura Mets360: “Either way, the blowout allowed the Mets to use Thomas Szapucki, although having him enter the game with runners on second and third probably isn’t the way the front office drew it up on the blackboard….The rookie was in the unenviable spot of having to take one for the team…” (Subscription required)

In the tale of Anthony Young's (L,2-8) record setting 27 game losing streak there were quite a few that were of the hard luck variety.  With the game tied at 1, Anthony worked a 1-2-3 7th.  Then after allowing a lead off walk to Andre Dawson in the 8th, Anthony was removed for Lee Gutterman who gave 2 singles to score Dawson and Jeff Innis who gave up a bunt single to Rey Sanchez to score another.  Greg Maddux K'd 2 in the 9th as he got the complete game vistory with 10Ks.

National Pastime.com: Sandy Koufax becomes the first Dodger southpaw to throw a no-hitter since Nap Rucker accomplished the feat in 1908 when he keeps the expansion Mets hitless in the team's 5-0 victory in Los Angeles. The 26 year-old left-hander, en route to fanning 13, strikes out the first three batters he faces - Richie Ashburn, Rod Kanehl, and Felix Mantilla, on nine pitches to start the game with an immaculate inning. 

Baseball Reference: With the aid of 13 strikeouts and a Frank Howard home run, Sandy Koufax no-hits Bob Miller and the Mets, 5 - 0 in Los Angeles. Sandy starts off the game by fanning the side on nine pitches in the 1st inning, the first National League pitcher to strike out the side on nine pitches since Brooklyn's Dazzy Vance, in 1924. It will be the first of four career no-hitters thrown by Koufax.
