The Mets sent out a press release postponing yesterday's game.  It was rescheduled as part of a split doubleheader on Saturday August 12 at 1:10 PM and 7:15 PM. 

Today's Game:

NYM: Tylor Megill (#38, 27, RHP, 3-1, 3.96)
ATL: Spencer Strider (#99, 24, RHP, 3-0, 1.80)

The New York Mets announced the following Roster Moves Via Twitter: LHP Brooks Raley placed on the 15-day IL with left elbow inflammation, retroactive to 4/28; RHP John Curtiss recalled from Triple-A Syracuse; RHP Adam Ottavino reinstated from the paternity list; LHP David Peterson optioned to Syracuse.

NY Post: Max Scherzer’s ban extended thanks to Mets’ rainout with Braves. "The game that was postponed by rain Saturday against the Braves won’t be made up until August, so Max Scherzer’s 10-game ban for violating MLB’s rules on foreign substances now will be extended until at least Tuesday, when the Mets open their three-game series at Comerica Park."

Dan Martin NY Post: Pete Alonso’s production has direct impact on Mets’ wins and losses. "In the Mets’ 15 wins this year, Alonso has an OPS of 1.176, seven homers, 10 walks, 13 strikeouts and 19 RBIs in 70 plate appearances...In 46 plate appearances in losses, Alonso’s numbers are strikingly poor: an OPS of .486, three homers, one walk, 14 strikeouts and six RBIs."

New York Mets claimed Daryl Boston on waivers from the Chicago White Sox on April 30, 1990.

New York Mets signed free agent Val Pascucci on April 30, 2008.

1988

Reds' manager Pete Rose will be suspended for thirty days and fined $10,000 for pushing David Pallone, after the umpire makes a delayed call that allows the eventual winning run to score in the team's 6-5 loss to the Mets at Riverfront Stadium. The Cincinnati skipper shoves the first base ump twice after claiming he was poked in the face, a charge the arbitrator denies, and one never substantiated by major league baseball.

1990

With Dale Murphy and Ernie Whitt on base, Mark Lemke grounds to second baseman Gregg Jefferies, who lobs the ball to David Cone covering first. The runner is called safe, which leads to the Mets starter having a complete meltdown, vehemently arguing the call with umpire Charlie Williams as the two Braves' runners cross the plate to score.

2002

Al Leiter becomes the first pitcher in baseball history to record wins over all thirty big league franchises that have been existence since 1901. The Mets southpaw earns the victory as New York routs the Diamondbacks at Bank One Ballpark, 10-1.

2005

With an enthusiastic RFK crowd chanting "Let's go, ground crew" the inexperienced group puts on quite a show of ineptitude when they struggle putting the tarp on a very soggy field during the second rain delay of the rain-shortened 5-3 victory over the Mets. New York files a protest after the game is called off in the bottom of the eighth, claiming the field became unplayable due to Washington's inability to cover the field during the 37-minute stoppage of play.

2008

Julio Franco, the oldest player to homer in the major leagues, announces his retirement from professional baseball, leaving the Quintana Roo Tigers of the Mexican League. The 49 year-old Dominican compiled a .298 average, collected 2,586 hits and hit 173 homers during his 23-year tenure with eight big league teams, which included the Phillies, Indians, Rangers, White Sox, Brewers, Rays, Braves, and Mets.

2012

When Brett Myers faces his first batter in the ninth inning, the Astros closer becomes the seventh different Houston pitcher to face seven consecutive Mets, a major league first. Houston manager Brad Mills wears out a path from the dugout to the mound when he pulls starter Bud Norris from the game and then proceeds to summon Wilton Lopez, Wesley Wright, Brandon Lyon, Fernando Abad, and Fernando Rodriguez, to face one batter each in the team's 4-3 victory at Citi Field.

Baseball Reference:

2017 - Anthony Rendon has a game for the ages as he goes 6-for-6 with his first three homers of the year and drives in 10 runs to lead the Nationals to a 23 - 5 drubbing of the Mets. He joins Walker Cooper as the only two players ever to have 6 hits and 10 RBIs in one game. Bryce Harper scores 4 runs to give 32 in April, a new major league record, and Matt Wieters has a pair of homers among his three hits. It is the most runs in franchise history for Washington. Worse for New York, Noah Syndergaard leaves the game in the 2nd after experiencing arm pain.
