From Yesterday's Nationals 4 Mets 1 - Post Game Notes: "Jeff McNeil (2-3, BB): Has a .417/.500/.556 slashline in his last 10 games."
Mark W. Sanchez NY Post: Mets suffer fourth consecutive defeat with ugly loss to Nationals. "Buck Showalter’s crew has dropped four straight in April after never losing more than three in a row last year, the latest a 4-1 defeat to Washington in front of 20,191 frustrated fans at Citi Field on Wednesday night...One night after Josiah Gray kept the Mets scoreless for six innings, MacKenzie Gore threw six, one-run innings in which he punched out a career-high-tying 10."
Laura Albanese Newsday: Mets don't hit, pitch or field in second straight loss to Nationals. "They committed three errors while stranding eight men on base and going 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position. The Mets have been outscored 9-1 over two games against one of the worst-hitting teams in baseball and have scored one run in 21 innings. They’ve also struck out 28 times in two games (15 Wednesday) despite entering the day with 180 strikeouts, fourth-fewest in baseball."
The bullpen gave up two runs, which with the way the offense is going was too much to overcome."
Metstradamus: "The lineup made MacKenzie Gore look like Steve Carlton. And at the point that I referenced it felt like 9-1 instead of 2-1, Jeimer Candelario hit a home run off Jeff Brigham to make it 3-1, and then it really felt like 9-1."

His return date, however, remains unclear,"
- Mets close out 3-game set with Nats
- Each team's hottest hitting prospect right now - For the Mets it is Ronny Mauricio, SS (No. 6) "You may have heard the news that the Mets have started playing Mauricio at second base in a sign that they’re considering him for Major League time. It’s hard to blame them. The switch-hitting infielder has followed up the winter’s LIDOM MVP campaign with a .350/.395/.688 slash line and six homers in 21 games with Triple-A Syracuse. His 28 hits and 14 extra-base knocks are both second-most in the International League."

New York Mets sold Luis Alvarado to the Detroit Tigers on April 27, 1977.
New York Mets claimed Buddy Baumann on waivers from the San Diego Padres on April 27, 2018.
1973 | Braves hurler Pat Dobson three-hits the Mets and beats Tom Seaver, who also gives up only three hits, 2-0. The Atlanta Fulton County Stadium contest takes one-hour and 37 minutes to complete, making it the quickest game ever played in Mets history. |
2004 | At Dodger Stadium, Mike Piazza ties Carlton Fisk for the most career homers by a catcher as he hits Hideo Nomo's sixth-inning pitch into the stands for his 351st round-tripper as a backstop. The homer, which was his 362nd overall, moves the Mets' star past Yankees' Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio on the all-time list. |
2010 | David Wright, with an RBI single to right field off Ramon Troncoso in the fifth inning of New York's 10-5 victory over L.A. at Citi Field, becomes the eighth and quickest player to accumulate 1,000 hits in a Mets uniform. The 27 year-old third baseman, who surpasses Mike Piazza's mark of 935 games to reach the milestone, accomplishes the feat in his 868th career contest with the club. |
2010 | The suddenly streaking Mets win their sixth consecutive game with a doubleheader sweep of the Dodgers, 4-0 and 10-5. The victories mark the first time since August 28, 1971 that the club has taken both ends of a twin bill from L.A. |
2012 | Mets left fielder Scott Hairston became the tenth player in franchise history to hit for the cycle with his sixth inning double, plating Rueben Tejada and David Wright. The outfielder's four hits, which drive in four runs, aren't enough when Colorado routs New York, scoring 11 times in the fifth, in the Coors Field's contest, 18-9. |
2010: The Mets sweep the Dodgers in a doubleheader, 4 - 0 and 10 - 5, to extend their winning streak to 6 games and to record their 8th win in their last 9 games. Jason Bay hits his first home run as a Met in support of Johan Santana's pitching in the opener, while David Wright drives in four runs in the nitecap.
2012 The Rockies reverse a 6 - 2 deficit with an 11-run 5th-inning outburst against the Mets, then pull out with an 18 - 9 win at Coors Field. Eric Young starts the ball rolling by beating P Chris Schwinden's throw on a comebacker to the mound; 3 walks, 7 hits, 4 errors and a hit batsman later, the Rockies are cruising to an easy win; Carlos Gonzalez drives in 5 runs during the frame, then Ramon Hernandez adds a grand slam in the 7th. For the Mets, Scott Hairston hits for the cycle in a losing cause, while the two teams combine for 36 hits in the slugfest.
