NYM: Chris Bassitt (#40, 33, RHP, 13-8, 3.44)
PIT: Bryse Wilson (#32, 24, RHP, 3-8, 6.03)
Brian Joura Mets360: "In a game that shouldn’t have been anywhere near this close, the Mets escaped with a 4-3 win over the Pirates Friday night."
Metstradamus:
The Inches We Need … "Taijuan Walker pitched 7 and 1/3 great innings tonight, and he did so while bringing his splitter back slowly. He was going primarily with the sinker/curve/fastball first time through the lineup, then slowly brought the spiltter back in, throwing 24 of them total out of 100 pitches."

1975 | Mets right-fielder Rusty Staub, in a 5-2 loss to Chicago at Shea Stadium, homers off Ray Burris in the fourth frame for his 98th RBI of the season, establishing a new team record. 'Le Grand Orange' surpasses the franchise mark set by Donn Clendenon in 1970. |

The 33 year-old Mets slugger will finish the season hitting just .204, the lowest batting average ever for a player who wins a home run crown. |
2016 | Mets outfielder Curtis Granderson hits two extra-inning home runs in the same game, giving the team a 3-2 victory over the Twins at Citi Field. The Grandy Man ties the game leading off in the 11th inning and then hits a two-out solo homer, the club's 201st home run to set a franchise mark, in the following frame to end the game. |
1986 - The Mets clinch the National League East title with a 4 - 2 win over the Cubs at Shea Stadium as Dwight Gooden tosses a six-hitter. The Mets will win 108 games this season, most in the National League since the 1975 Reds.
