From the Mets 2 Royals 1 Post Game Notes 4/14/2024:

Mets: 
  • Are 7-3 in their last 10 games and have outscored opponents 58-44 during that span...Have won their last three series after losing their first two to start the season.
  • Tallied 14 strikeouts, the club's ninth game with double-digit strikeouts this season...Is tied with Philadelphia for the second-most such games in the majors...Only Boston (10) has more double-digit strikeout games this season.
Harrison Bader (2-4, RBI): 
  • Broke a 0-0 tie with an infield single in the eighth...Was his seventh career go-ahead RBI in the eighth inning or later...Has recorded multiple hits in four straight games, the longest such streak of his career.
José Buttó (6.0 IP, 2 H, BB, 9 K): 
  • Recorded a career-high nine strikeouts surpassing his previous career high of seven set on September 12, 2023 vs. Arizona.
  • Is one of 16 starting pitchers in the majors this season to allow five or fewer hits in their first two starts of the season.
  • Has a 2.50 ERA (11 ER/39.1 IP) and 43 strikeouts over his last seven starts dating back to September 6, 2023...Five of those starts have been quality starts.

Brian Joura Mets360: "The winning rally wasn’t much to look at but it looked pretty after the Mets’ failures to capitalize in earlier innings. And it wasn’t great offense. They scored thanks to four walks and an infield single by Harrison Bader."

NY Post: Harrison Bader’s clutch infield hit leads Mets to series win on Dwight Gooden number retirement day. "That the Mets won this one with a superb starting pitching performance from Jose Butto served as an additional tribute to Gooden."

1968

The Astros defeat the Mets in 24 innings, 1-0, making it the longest scoreless game in major league history. The six-hour and six-minute contest, in which each team had 79 at-bats and 11 hits, ends when Bob Aspromonte's grounder goes through the legs of shortstop Al Weis, scoring Norm Miller from third base with one out.

2004

Major league baseball begins the tradition of Jackie Robinson Day, an annual celebration commemorating the day in 1947 when the Dodger infielder broke the color line. At big league venues across the country, ceremonies are being held to honor the ground-breaking historical event, including baseball commissioner Bud Selig and Jackie's widow Rachel Robinson attending the festivities at Shea Stadium.

Baseball Reference:

1947 - 28-year-old Jackie Robinson makes a historic debut for the Brooklyn Dodgers, becoming the first African-American to play major league baseball in the 20th century. Robinson goes 0 for 3 in his debut, but scores the deciding run in a 5 - 3 victory over the Boston Braves at Ebbets Field. He handles 11 chances at first base, a new position for him. Coach Clyde Sukeforth, interim manager and the man credited with first scouting Robinson, guides the Dodgers to two victories before stepping down. Robinson is the first black player to appear in the majors since 1884.

1958 - Major League Baseball comes to California as the transplanted Giants and Dodgers play the first game on the Pacific Coast. The Californian contest at San Francisco's Seals Stadium sees Ruben Gómez blanking Los Angeles and Don Drysdale. Daryl Spencer hits the first home run and Orlando Cepeda also homers in the Giants' 8 - 0 victory in front of 23,448 fans.

1997 - The 50th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's breaking the color barrier in major league baseball is celebrated before 54,047 at Shea Stadium during a game between the Mets and the Dodgers. U.S. President Bill Clinton and Jackie's widow, Rachel Robinson, both speak during the 35-minute presentation, but the surprise of the evening occurs when acting Commissioner Bud Selig announces that Robinson's number 42 will be retired in perpetuity for every team. On the field, the Mets beat the Dodgers, 5 - 0.

1998 - The first-ever American League-National League doubleheader ends up a good day for New York. The Yankees are forced to come to Shea Stadium after a beam fell into the stands at Yankee Stadium on April 13th. They earn their first victory in Queens in 22 years as they defeat the Angels, 6 - 3. Former Mets star Darryl Strawberry, the all-time home run leader at Shea, adds to his total with a shot into the left field bleachers. In the regularly-scheduled night game, the Mets beat the Cubs, 2 - 1. The Yankees, who played at Shea in 1974 and 1975 while Yankee Stadium was renovated, draw a crowd of 40,743, a dramatic contrast to the gathering of 16,012 who show up for the Mets game at night.
