  • Gut Reaction: Rangers 7, Mets 3 (7/2/22) "Trevor Williams got beat up by the long ball, the Mets couldn’t buy a hit with runners in scoring position and the end result was a 7-3 loss to the Rangers Saturday afternoon at Citi Field." 
NY Post: Trevor Williams gets roughed in loss as Mets’ NL East lead shrinks The Mets (48-30) have lost four of their past five ahead of the rubber match against the Rangers on Sunday. The Braves won again, so the Mets’ NL East lead has been trimmed to just 2 ¹/ games, the closest the division has been since April 30.

  • Power Rangers Make Mets Situation Dicey "With the Braves win today, they are now just two and a half games back. The sky isn’t falling, as all credit is due to the Braves for beating the teams they’re supposed to beat. But now it’s time for the Mets to do the same."

New York Mets traded 
John Hudek to the Cincinnati Reds for Lenny Harris on July 3, 1998.

Cincinnati Reds claimed Andy Phillips of the New York Mets on waivers on July 3, 2008.


1996
In a 10-6 Mets victory over Philadelphia, Alex Ochoa enjoys a 5-for-5 day at Veterans Stadium. With his eighth-inning homer, the 24 year-old right fielder becomes the sixth player in franchise history to hit for the cycle.



1980: The Tulsa Drillers score three runs on a fly out in a 7 - 1 win over the Jackson Mets. With the bases loaded, Ron Gooch flies out to Archie Amerson. Amerson's throw home to get Mike Jirschele is off-target and the ball bounces away from C Stan Hough as Jirschele and George Wright score. Jackson pitcher Tom Thurberg recovers the ball but his throw is wild as well and hits on-deck batsman Phil KlimasMel Barrow charges home with the third run of the play, having legged it from first base.

1994: The Mets' Rico Brogna breaks up Andy Benes's no-hit bid with a double in the 8th inning. The Padres win, 7 - 0, as Benes fans 13 and walks only one in his one-hitter. He also drives home three runs with a double of his own.

2000: The Marlins defeat the Mets, 2 - 0, on Derrek Lee's two-run homer in the 9th, off Turk WendellJesus Sanchez, 0-6 versus New York, is the winner. The loss ends C Mike Piazza's streak of 15 consecutive games with an RBI, two short of the major league mark.
