1 Year ago today: Year: 2021; Game #54; Tuesday, Jun 8; NYM 3 @ BAL 10; boxscore; WP: Zimmermann; LP: PetersonTime: 3:14; NIGHT; Attendance: 9,431; Francisco Lindor SS 0 for 2, 1 walk, 1 run scored; Pete Alonso DH 2 for 4, 2 HRs, 3 RBIs, 2 runs scored; David Peterson P 2.2 innings, 4 runs – all earned, 8 hits, 1 walk, 4 Ks; Robert Gsellman 2.1 innings, 4 runs – all earned, 4 hits, 1 HR, 1 walk, 1 K; 

Mets.com: “By the time David Peterson walked off the mound at Camden Yards on Tuesday, head bowed and face stern, the Mets were already well on their way to a 10-3 loss to the Orioles. Peterson had again submitted a poor start, allowing four runs on eight hits over 2 2/3 innings. His ERA over his last four outings is 9.88, leaving the Mets to wonder: Is the promising young left-hander still one of their five best current rotation options?” 

NY Post: David Peterson struggles again as Mets get ripped by Orioles. Jacob deGrom, Marcus Stroman and Taijuan Walker have been horses in the Mets’ rotation and Joey Lucchesi is showing recent improvement, but the 25-year-old Peterson is headed in the wrong direction. 

Mets.com: Stat of the Day - June 8: Orioles 10, Mets 3 – “In allowing three runs to the Orioles in the second inning of a 10-3 loss on Tuesday, David Peterson gave up three or more in an inning for the sixth time this season. Only Luis Castillo of the Reds has allowed more rallies of at least three runs.”

Here is the full list of Mets games played on June 8th:

Year: 2021; Game #54; Tuesday, Jun 8; NYM 3 @ BAL 10; boxscore; WP: Zimmermann; LP: PetersonTime: 3:14; NIGHT; Attendance: 9,431;

Year: 2019; Game #64; Saturday;  June 8, NYM 5  Vs. COL 3 boxscore;  WP: Matz;  LP: Gray;  Save: Diaz;  Time: 02:59; NIGHT; Attendance: 29,077

NY Post: Steven Matz delivers for Mets as big bats, bullpen do the rest. "Matz allowed three runs (two earned) in six innings, matching career-highs with strikeouts (10) and pitches (120)....Pete Alonso led off the bottom of the seventh with a home run — which stood up to a review — to make it 5-3 and Seth Lugo and Edwin Diaz combined to toss three scoreless innings to finish it."



Year: 2018; Game #60; Friday;  June 8, NYM 1  Vs. NYY 4 boxscore;  WP: Green;  LP: deGrom;  Save: Chapman;  Time: 02:28; NIGHT; Attendance: 42,961

Year: 2016; Game #58; Wednesday;  June 8, NYM 6 @ PIT 5 boxscore 10 innings   WP: Reed;  LP: Luebke;  Save: Familia;  Time: 03:51; NIGHT; Attendance: 28,084

NY Post: Mets finally put up some runs but need extras to avoid sweep. "One Wilmer Flores jam-shot to center field Wednesday might as well have been a blast into the Allegheny River. Flores’ pinch-hit bloop in the 10th inning came nowhere close to water, but touched grass not far behind second base, bringing home the go-ahead run for the Mets in their 6-5 victory over the Pirates that snapped their three-game losing streak...Jeurys Familia staggered to the save, walking three batters in the 10th before striking out David Freese for the final out, snapping the Pirates’ nine-game winning streak against the Mets dating to 2014."

Baseball ReferenceFor only the second time in major league history, two games go 18 innings on the same day. First, the Blue Jays defeat the Rangers, 4 - 3, when Rajai Davis drives in Emilio Bonifacio with a two-out single in the 18th inning. Ross Wolf is the unlucky loser after 6 2/3 innings of work. It's the longest game in both teams' history, but it's not even the longest on the day, as the Marlins need 20 innings to defeat the Mets, 2 - 1, tying for the longest game in their history, and the longest played at Citi FieldAdeiny Hechevarria drives in the go-ahead run and Steve Cishek gets the final out after 6 hours and 20 minutes. The game almost ends in the 12th, but Marlins RF Marcell Ozuna throws Daniel Murphy out at the plate to prolong the game. Starters Shaun Marcum and Kevin Slowey then come in to pitch in the 13th, and both pitch scoreless ball until the 20th. Marcum falls to 0-7 in spite of his tremendous effort.
