Mets Links: 

Box Score: Atlanta Braves 4 Mets 0 Pete Alonso 1B 1 for 2, 1 K; Jeff McNeil 2B 0 for 1, 1 walk; Brett Baty 3B 1 for 2, 1 K; Francisco Alvarez C 1 for 2; David Peterson P (L,1-4) 5 innings, 4 runs - earned, 5 hits, 1 walk, 6 Ks; 

  • Mets: Were shut out for the fifth time this season...Was their first time being shut out by Atlanta since August 16, 2022 and the first time at Citi Field since July 26, 2021.
  • David Peterson: Has suffered the loss in three of his last four starts.
Brian Joura Mets360: "David Peterson started off strong but the wheels came off in the fifth inning, as the Braves scored four runs and ended up winning a rain-shortened game, 4-0, Friday night at Citi Field."

Metstradamus: "But in the fifth inning, Peterson was destroyed. He gave up a single to Eddie Rosario and a double to Kevin Pillar with one out. Then after getting Michael Harris on a fielders choice at the plate after nine pitches, he had nothing left for Ronald Acuna Jr. He threw an absolute meatball to Acuna on the first pitch, and he smacked it to left field for an RBI single to make it 1-0..."

NY Post: "The Mets lost for the fifth time in six games, a night after they barely avoided getting swept by the woeful Nationals....Peterson’s night unraveled in the fifth, when he surrendered a three-run homer to Matt Olson that buried the Mets in a 4-0 hole."

Tim Healey Newsday: Rain cuts Mets short right after David Peterson allows four runs in fifth inning vs. Atlanta. "Within seconds of Max Fried setting down the Mets in the bottom of the inning, which made the game official, umpires requested the tarp. Eighty-eight minutes later, MLB decided the game was over."




Justin Verlander threw 4.2 scoreless innings in a Binghamton rehab start.  More details below in Minor League Links.

New York Mets signed free agent Endy Chavez on April 29, 1996.

    1962

    During the seven-run fourth inning at the Polo Grounds, Frank Thomas ties a major league mark by being hit twice with a pitch in one inning. Art Mahaffey and Frank Sullivan plunk the Mets outfielder in the Phillies' 8-0 loss.

    1984

    On Strawberry Sunday, former World Series hero Jerry Koosman is greeted warmly by the Mets' faithful in his first start at Shea Stadium since 1978 when he faces his old team for the first time. Prior to the 6-2 victory over Philadelphia, fans are treated to strawberry sundaes provided by Carvel in honor of Darryl Strawberry, last season's National League Rookie of the Year.

    1996

    John Franco becomes the first left-hander to record 300 saves, allowing just a hit and no runs in the top of the ninth inning in the Mets' 3-2 victory over Montreal at Shea Stadium. The southpaw recorded his first save exactly 12 years ago on this date wearing a Reds' uniform.

    Baseball Reference:

    2013: The Marlins earn a rare victory, 4 - 3, over the Mets with a two-run rally in the bottom of the 15th inning. Ruben Tejada gives the Mets a 3 - 2 lead with an infield single off Jon Rauch in the top of the 15th, but the Fish come back on Rob Brantly's single and Nick Green's sacrifice fly against Shaun Marcum, the Mets' ninth pitcher of the night. It is the first time Miami wins back-to-back games this year, but the win is costly as the team's best hitter, Giancarlo Stanton, pulls a hamstring running out a ground ball in the 10th and is immediately placed on the disabled list.

    2016 - The Mets score a team record 12 runs in the 3rd inning in defeating the Giants, 13 - 1. Yoenis Cespedes collects 6 RBIs in the frame with a two-run single off Jake Peavy and a grand slam off Mike Broadway. Steven Matz is the winner.

    1996 - John Franco of the New York Mets becomes the first left-handed pitcher to reach the 300-save plateau with a scoreless 9th inning in a 3 - 2 Mets win over the Expos at Shea Stadium.
