Today's Game

Mets (87-51) @ Marlins (56-80), 6:40 pm

MIA: Edward Cabrera (#27, 24, RHP, 4-2, 2.39)

NY Post: Breaking down factors that will decide Mets-Braves NL East race.  They mention Schedule, Health Concerns, Who is Streaking and Skidding - "The Mets’ most important bats, Pete Alonso (.646 OPS in September) and Francisco Lindor (.609), are having their worst months of the season. Daniel Vogelbach (3 for his last 30) and Darin Ruf (batting .163 as a Met) have not helped enough at DH." 

Mark W. Sanchez NY Post: Mets getting big lift from bottom of order. "James McCann is finally showing signs of the bat that made the Mets lock up the catcher on a four-year deal. Eduardo Escobar is riding a six-game hitting streak and playing his best baseball of the season. Tyler Naquin and Mark Canha — when he’s down in the order — have swung better and helped lengthen the lineup."

Tim Healey Newsday: Mets, Atlanta barreling toward rare feat in NL East race. "...two 100-win teams in the same division. That has happened just five times in the more than half-century since MLB instituted the format. "

Danny Abriano SNY.TV: 5 things to watch as Mets face Marlins in three-game series in Miami. Danny includes - "Pete Alonso seems to be out of his slump" "Edwin Diaz could be rusty" "The Braves' series against the Mariners in Seattle"

SNY.TV: "Reliever Drew Smith will begin a rehab assignment this Saturday with Triple-A Syracuse, manager Buck Showalter told reporters on Tuesday."

New York Mets released Darren Reed on September 9, 1993.


1997
Hall of Famer and beloved Phillies announcer Richie Ashburn, an excellent contact hitter who once fouled off 14 pitches in one at-bat, passes away of an apparent heart attack in his New York hotel room after broadcasting a Mets-Phillies game last night. 'Whitey' collected the most hits by any major leaguer during the decade of the 1950's.
2004
Lino Urdaneta's first major league appearance results in an earned run average of infinity when the Tigers rookie does not retire a batter, giving up five hits, one walk, and six earned runs. Fortunately for the right-hander, the Mets will give him the opportunity to appear in two games in 2007, in which he allows one run in one inning of work, to bring down his ERA to a much more respectable 63.00.


1969: With a 7 - 1 win, Tom Seaver hands Chicago its 6th straight loss, giving the Mets a sweep of two games. New York now trails the Cubs by one-half game.

2013 - In a rare highlight for the Nationals this season, Gio Gonzalez pitches a one-hitter and is backed by five homers as the team rolls to an easy 9 - 0 win over the Mets. The Nats start off with a bang as Denard Span and Ryan Zimmerman greet Mets starter Carlos Torres with back-to-back long balls. Pinch-hitter Zach Lutz has the Mets' only hit, a soft single that lands on the first base foul line to open the 7th.
