Carlos Carrasco said he felt his left side tighten up on his last pitch. He’ll get an MRI tomorrow. He and Buck Showalter downplayed the idea that the rain delay played a role.

“It just got tight a little bit,” Carrasco said, “and I don’t want to push more.”

Since the last time he pitched as a position player, Darin Ruf said he learned not to throw so hard, and even went to the cutter tonight (even though it registered as a slider) pic.twitter.com/tUZTqaaaoc

Before the game, the Mets made the following roster moves: Luis Guillorme placed on the 10-Day IL, with a left groin strain; Tomás Nido placed on the Injured List; Michael Perez recalled from Triple-A Syracuse; Deven Marrero had his contract selected from Triple-A Syracuse; Binghamton Rumble Ponies released CF Johneshwy Fargas; Brooklyn Cyclones released RHP Nate Jones;"That's the reason position players throw.

1996 |
Due to a conflict with the Republican National Convention
in San Diego, the first major league game ever played outside of the United
States or Canada takes place in Monterrey, Mexico, with the 'home team'
Padres out-slugging the Mets at Estadio de Beisbol, 15-10. Fernando
Valenzuela, a native of the Mexican city of Navojoa, opens the three-game
series and goes six innings to get the victory for the first-place Friars. |
|
2007 |
Jose Reyes becomes the first infielder and tenth player
overall in the modern era (post-1898) to steal sixty bases in three
consecutive seasons. The Mets shortstop, who will swipe 78 sacks this season,
steals second base in the second inning for the second time in a 10-7 loss to
the Pirates at PNC Park. |
1987: The wind is
blowing out at Wrigley Field as
the Mets pound the Cubs, 23 - 10, setting a club record for
runs scored in a game.
1996: San Diego OF Steve Finley homers
in the Padres game against the Mets in Monterrey, Nuevo
León, Mexico. By doing so, he becomes the first
major league player to have homered in three different countries, having
previously hit four-baggers in the USA and Canada. The Padres win the first
regular-season game to be played outside of the US or Canada, 15 - 10, belting
four homers. Leadoff batter Tony Gwynn is 3 for 5 and will repeat
it tomorrow in the 7 - 3 loss to the Mets.
2001:
The Padres defeat the Mets, 6 - 5. San Diego rookie P Jeremy Fikac gets
the win in his major league debut as he strikes out the side in his only
inning. In 2004, he will also get a
win his final major league appearance in an otherwise unremarkable career.
2017 -
Short of infielders because of
injuries, the Mets start catcher Travis d'Arnaud at
third base in their game against the Yankees. However,
as d'Arnaud has never played the position professionally, manager Terry Collins decides
to switch him and starting second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera every
time a right-handed batter comes up, in order to minimize the chance of a ball
actually being hit towards the improvized infielder. The two end up exchanging
positions 18 times as the Yankees prevail, 5 - 3, making for an unusual boxscore that reads "Cabrera
2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b" and
"d'Arnaud 3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b".
2018: Just two weeks
after suffering a 25 - 4 loss, the worst in team history, the Mets turn around and defeat the Phillies,
24 - 4, in the first game of a doubleheader, setting team records for runs and
hits (25). Coming on the back of a 16 - 5 win over the Orioles the
day before, the win also marks the first time they score at least 15 runs in
back-to-back games. Jose Bautista,
who does not even start the game, leads the offense with a grand slam and 7 RBIs. However, the
Mets return to form in the nitecap, losing 9 - 6.
2021 -
By hitting a triple for the Mets, Pete Alonso ends a
record streak of 68 games without the team getting a three-base hit.
