Mets360:

  • Brian Joura - Gut Reaction: Astros 5, Mets 3 (6/22/22) "For the second straight game, the Mets fell behind early. For the second straight time they loaded the bases with a chance to get right back in there. And once again they failed to cash in, with Eduardo Escobar in the middle of fruitless ABs both times. The end result Wednesday was a 5-3 loss to the Astros."
Metstradamus: The Path To Glory Is Paved In High Fastballs And Lower Back Tightness. "Carrasco gave up bullet after bullet in the first inning after leading off his day with a walk to Jose Altuve. Michael Brantley hit the top of the wall to bring home Altuve, and then bombs to Alex Bregman and Yordan Alvarez made it 4-0 before Cookie even got an out."

1963

After taking Phillies right-hander Dallas Green deep, Jimmy Piersall runs around the bases in the correct order, but backward, to celebrate his 100th career home run. The Mets' outfielder, who thought of the stunt after being disappointed by the lack of attention Duke Snider's 400th round-tripper received, will be released two days later by manager Casey Stengel.

2006

The Mets, defeating the Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre, 6-1, set a club record, winning their ninth straight decision on the road. The team had won their eight decisions on a ten-game road trip, including stops in Los Angeles, Arizona, and Philadelphia.

 

2008

In an interleague contest against the Mets at Shea Stadium, Mariners' right-hander Felix Hernandez becomes the first pitcher in the 31-year history of the franchise to hit a home run. The round-tripper, which comes off fellow Venezuela ace Johan Santana, is also the first grand slam hit by an American League pitcher since Steve Dunning of the Indians homered off A's moundsman Diego Segui in 1971.

 

Baseball Reference:

2000: The Mets roll over the Pirates, 12 - 2, scoring nine runs in the 3rd inning.

2019: Tensions boil over in the clubhouse of the struggling Mets after a 5 - 3 loss to the Cubs at Wrigley Field as manager Mickey Callaway accuses Newsday beat reporter Tim Healey of antagonizing people. The exchange quickly degenerates as P Jason Vargas also gets involved and threatens to knock out the journalist while Callaway shouts for him to leave the clubhouse, using choice profanities.
