Mets Links: 

Box Score: Cubs 6 Mets 3;

Mets: Were swept for the fourth time this season and the first time in a three-game series this season...Was their first time being swept in a three-game series since 9/24/21 - 9/26/21 at MIL and their first time being swept at home in a three-game series since 9/13/21 - 9/15/21 vs. STL...Have lost a season-high three straight games for the fourth time.

David Peterson (L,7-5, 0.1 IP, 2 H, 5 ER, 3 BB, K): Threw a career-low 0.1 inning
for the second time (Also: 6/2/21 at ARI)...Allowed a season-high five runs...Walked three batters in an inning for the second time this season (Also: 7/6/22 at CIN) and the fourth time in his career.

Tomás Nido (2-3, HR, RBI, R): Put the Mets on the board with a solo home run in the third...Has homered in consecutive games after not homering in his first 85 games of the season...Was the first time in his career homering in consecutive games...Was his first time homering at Citi Field since 5/25/21...Has recorded at least one extra-base hit over his last four games...Is batting .321 (18-56) over his last 20 games.

Pete Alonso (1-4, HR, RBI, R): Slugged his 35th home run of the season in the eighth...Joins Mike Piazza, Howard Johnson, Darryl Strawberry and Dave Kingman as the only Mets in franchise history to have three seasons of 35+ home runs...Has homered in consecutive games for the fifth time this season...Nine of his 15 career hits against the Cubs have been home runs...Is tied for fourth in the majors in home runs...Is first in the NL and tied for second in the majors with 111 RBI.

Trevor Williams (4.1 IP, 4 H, ER, BB, 8 K): Struck out a career-high eight batters for the third time (Last: 4/27/21 at ATL w/CHC)...Is tied for the second-most strikeouts in a game by a Mets relief pitcher in franchise history...Ray Sadecki (7/1/73) was the last Mets pitcher to strike out eight batters in a game...Tug McGraw was the other Mets relief pitcher to strike out eight batters in a game, doing so on two separate occasions (7/2/69 & 7/15/71).

Darin Ruf (1-2): Ended an 0-18 skid with a single in the fifth. 

Max Scherzer: Allowed one run over 3.2 innings on three hits, one walk and seven strikeouts in the first game of his rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse...Threw 59 pitches, 41 strikes.








Brian Joura Mets 360: "If three nights ago someone told you that the Giants were going to take two out of three from the Braves and the Cubs were going to sweep the Mets, you probably would have laughed at them."

Metstradamus: 

Feces, With A Hint Of Glavine "David Peterson couldn’t have been more awful. He walked the first three guys he faced, then after striking out Patrick Wisdom and threatening to pull off the John Franco, Yan Gomes and P.J. Higgins doubled off him to make it 4-0 and that was it." 

NY Post: 

David Peterson has disastrously short outing for Mets against Cubs "The Mets and starter David Peterson may have hit their rock-bottom moment in the first inning on Wednesday night.  With the Mets having already lost the first two games of the series to the hapless Cubs, Peterson lasted just one-third of an inning in the finale at Citi Field."

Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com: 

Born on this date:
Transactions:
New York Mets traded Shane Young and Jeff Richardson to the California Angels for John Candelaria on September 15, 1987.

1963
Inspired by their fans, the Mets hold the first of many Banner Days. The Polo Grounds event allows the 'New Breed' to display their creative ideas with signs, including some with a negative tone, with a parade on the field between games of a doubleheader against the Colt .45s.
1969
Cardinal hurler Steve Carlton fans nineteen batters, including three in the final frame, to establish a new major league mark for strikeouts for a nine-inning game. Lefty's performance is spoiled when Ron Swoboda's pair of two-run homers proves to be the difference in the Redbirds' 4-3 loss to the Mets at Busch Stadium.

1975
Mike Vail ties the National League rookie record as the outfielder hits in his twenty-third consecutive game. The Mets' late-season call up's streak matches the 1948 freshman performances of Richie Ashburn (1948, Phillies) and Alvin Dark (1948, Braves).


1987 - Mets 1B Keith Hernandez collects his 2,000th ML hit as New York pounds Chicago 12 - 4. Earlier in the day the 2nd-place Mets obtained pitcher John Candelaria from the Angels for a pair of minor leaguers.

1994 - The Mets are informed that P Dwight Gooden is in violation of his aftercare program for substance abuse.

1997: The Mets, 1 - 0 winners yesterday on a home run by diminutive Luis Lopez, use the long ball today to tie the Phils. New York collects four home runs in the 7th and 8th to tie at 6 apiece, then stitch six straight singles in the 10th to score 5 and win, 10 - 5. In the nitecap, the Mets lose, 2 - 1 to Darrin Winston, a 31-year-old rookie released by the Mets in the spring.

2014: The Mets' Jacob deGrom ties a major league record when he strikes out the first eight batters he faces before his opponent on the mound for the Marlins, Jarred Cosart, singles to right. DeGrom ties the record set by Jim Deshaies in 1986. He strikes out 13 in 7 innings but ends up with a no-decision as the Marlins win, 6 - 5.
