Today's Game:

Mets (14-8) @ Giants (7-13), 7:10 pm

SFG: Ross Stripling (#48, 33, RHP, 0-1, 7.30)
NYM: Tylor Megill (#38, 27, RHP, 3-1, 3.00)

Brian Joura Mets360: "David Peterson got the start and once again failed to deliver the goods. He allowed four runs in the first inning, three of them on a homer to Brandon Crawford. And if that wasn’t bad enough, he gave up two more runs in the second. And to complete the spit sandwich, Peterson served up a gopher ball in the fifth to Wilmer Flores." (Subscription required)

Mike Puma NY Post: Brandon Nimmo’s sizzling road trip continued with a homer in the third inning that sliced the Giants’ lead to 6-2.  The blast was the second in four games for Nimmo, who entered play with a .525/.568/.725 slash line over his previous nine games.

Metstradamus: "Combine that with every single close play and close replay going against the Mets (correctly, but still frustrating) and an eighth inning rally falling just short with Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso retired with the tying run on deck, and you have a 7-4 loss."

Tim Healey Newsday: Mets' David Peterson hammered right off the bat in loss to Giants. "Peterson got crushed by the Giants in a 7-4 loss Saturday, the sort of noncompetitive outing in which managing to pitch as long as he did — five innings despite allowing seven runs — registered as a minor moral victory."

1962

In the team's tenth attempt, the Mets win their first game in franchise history, defeating the Pirates at Forbes Field, 9-1. Jay Hook's five-hit complete-game victory snaps Pittsburgh's record-tying winning streak of 10 games from the start of the season without a loss.

2006

Keith Hernandez is reprimanded by Sportsnet New York, the Mets' television network, for comments made last night about the female in full uniform sitting in the Padres dugout. Spotting Kelly Calabrese, the Padres' full-time massage therapist, the Mets broadcaster remarked women "don't belong in the dugout" and apologized for his insensitive comments during the telecast.

Baseball Reference:

2010: The Mets beat the Braves, 5 - 2, as Ike Davis hits his first major league home run. There is an unusual play in the 7th inning: with the Mets leading 3 - 2 with two runners on base, Jose Reyes hits a high pop-up and the umpires invoke the infield fly rule. But 3B Chipper Jones crosses in front of SS Omar Infante in the windy conditions, and the ball glances off his glove and falls to the ground. C Brian McCann picks up the ball, and not realizing that Reyes is out automatically, goes after him. He relays the ball to 1B Eric Hinske, who tags both Reyes and the bag to no avail. While the Braves are busy flogging a dead horse, Angel Pagan races around the diamond for the Mets' fourth run. Nippon Pro Baseball veteran Hisanori Takahashi replaces starter John Maine, who has to leave in the 4th inning with pain in his left elbow; he strikes out seven in three innings to pick up his first major league win.

2015: The Mets tie a team record with their 11th straight win, 6 - 3 over the Braves. Daniel Murphy drives in 4 runs as Bartolo Colon is the winner over Julio Teheran.

2019 - Zack Wheeler has a career night for the Mets against the Phillies, as he gives up no runs on 5 hits in 7 innings while striking out 11, and also contributes at the plate with a double and his first career homer. New York wins handily, 9 - 0.
