Mike Puma NY Post: Red-hot Pete Alonso belts two homers as Mets clip Marlins. “Alonso leads the National League with 22 homers and 68 RBIs in a season that won’t reach the midway point until next weekend. His two blasts on this day gave him four, including a grand slam last weekend, over eight games.”

SNY.TV: Mets takeaways from Saturday's 5-3 win over Marlins, including Pete Alonso's two-homer day. “Making his second straight start against the Marlins, Chris Bassitt breezed through his first three innings before allowing a two-run homer to Jesus Sanchez in the fourth (which would have been a three-run shot if not for a great throw from Starling Marte to nab a runner at third.”

NY Post:

  • Mets’ Max Scherzer is making one more rehab start: ‘got a little sore’ Max Scherzer’s mantra as he approaches his return to the Mets is: avoid a physical setback at all costs. That measured approach is taking him back to the minor leagues for at least one more rehab start. The right-hander expects that start will occur Tuesday at a minor league affiliate still to be determined.
  • Jacob deGrom gives Mets more signs of life; “The Mets ace threw one inning (20 pitches), according to pitching coach Jeremy Hefner, and is lined up for a third live batting practice in the coming days. After that session, he may be evaluated for a potential minor league rehab appearance.”

1963

In a clear message of support for the German people, President John F. Kennedy delivers his iconic "Ich bin ein Berliner" (I am a Berliner) speech from the steps of the Rathaus Schoneberg in front of an audience estimated at 450,000. During his visit, large crowds greet JFK with banners, including one that reads, "Let's Go Mets."

1966

Ron Santo is struck in the face by a pitch thrown by Mets' starter Jack Fisher. The Cubs third baseman's fractured cheek ends his record consecutive streak at the hot corner at 390 games, but his 27-game hitting streak, one shy of the franchise mark, stays intact with a first-inning single.

 

1983

Rusty Staub ties the single-season record with his eighth consecutive pinch hit. 'Le Grand Orange' equals the 1958 mark established by Dave Philley of the Phillies when he singles in the ninth inning off reliever Ron Reed in the Mets' 8-4 loss to Philadelphia at Shea Stadium.

2011

Three days after Jim Riggleman's sudden resignation, the Nationals name senior advisor Davey Johnson as the team's manager for the remainder of the season. The 68 year-old former skipper compiled an 1148-888 (.564) record during his 14 years in the dugout with the Mets, Dodgers, Reds, and Orioles, finishing lower than third place on only three occasions.
