NY Post:

Mets’ Buck Showalter praises Starling Marte for transition to right field – “’Keep in mind it’s kind of like taking a third baseman and making him a second baseman’ Showalter said.”

Why Mets fans should embrace stretch run instead of endure it Mike Vaccaro looks at the 15 reasons to give Mets fans hope including #15 – “15: That’s the Mets’ magic number for clinching a playoff spot entering play Monday.”

Unexpected day off comes with Mets benefits ahead of Pirates seriesBuck Showalter planned to rest Starling Marte and utilize Francisco Lindor as the DH. Now the manager is more likely to keep both players in their normal spots throughout the series…It gets messier if Tuesday’s game is also postponed (yes, there is rain in the forecast for much of the day) and the teams have to play Thursday.”

Mike's Mets:

The Party Crasher Mike makes lots of great points as always including this - "Sitting at 85 wins even after the dreadful weekend against the Nats, the Mets have already exceeded their win totals for all but 7 seasons since the year 2000. With 27 games still to play, the Mets should exceed 100 wins for only the fourth time in their existence — last accomplished in 1988 when mullets were still considered cool."  Still shocked to learn that mullets are no longer cool!

1981

Fernando Valenzuela ties the National League's rookie record for shutouts, blanking St. Louis, 5-0, for his seventh whitewash of the season. The Dodger lefty shares the mark with Irv Young (1905 Beaneaters), Grover Alexander (1911 Phillies), and Jerry Koosman (1968 Mets).

1985

In a matchup of aces that lives up its advanced billing, Dwight Gooden and Fernando Valenzuela hook up in one of the best pitchers' duel in recent memory. New York beats Los Angeles at Chavez Ravine, 2-0, thanks to Darryl Strawberry's two-run double on a day that the 20-year-old Mets right-hander strikes out ten batters, throwing nine shutout innings, while the Dodger southpaw pitches 11 innings without allowing a run.

2005

As part of the National Roberto Clemente Day celebration, teams will collect donations from fans in support of the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. Also, in remembrance of those affected by the disaster, major league players will don helmets bearing the Red Cross logo on the right side, and the number to call to help those in need will appear on the sides of the bases.

Baseball Reference:

1982 - Veteran first baseman Willie Stargell, whose uniform number 8 is retired, is saluted by 38,000 fans on his day at Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium. The 41-year-old slugger delivers a pinch-hit single in the Pirates' 6 - 1 win over the Mets.

1987:  The Dodgers beat the Mets, 3 - 2, in 16 innings, to end their losing streak at 9 games‚ the club's worst since 1973.

1989 - The last-place Phils top the first-place Cubs, 9 - 1 behind Bruce Ruffin's complete game. With the Cards beating the Mets‚ Chicago leads St. Louis by half a game in the NL East.

1998 - Atlanta OF Andruw Jones hits his 50th career homer in a 4 - 0 win over the Mets. He becomes the 3rd-youngest player in history to reach that level. Only Mel Ott and Tony Conigliaro did so at a younger age. Atlanta P John Smoltz limits the Mets to just 3 hits‚ while fanning an even dozen batters en route to his 14th win.
