Scoreless through the first five innings, the Pirates broke through against Adrian Houser in the 6th for 3 runs as Houser's 5 walks during the game took its toll.  Mets game right back in the bottom of the 6th with 3 of their own then took the lead in the 8th with a 3 run rally highlighted by a Jeff McNeil and DJ Stewart double steal and a Harrison Bader go ahead double.

Brian Joura Mets360: "The Mets fell behind by three runs but put up two crooked run innings late to defeat the Pirates, 6-3, in the opener of a three-game set Monday night at City Field. The victory got the Mets to .500 at 8-8."

Tim Healey Newsday: Mets' Harrison Bader hits eighth-inning go-ahead two-run double to complete comeback win over Pirates. "Bader lifted the Mets to a 6-3 win over the Pirates with a go-ahead two-run double in the bottom of the eighth inning, the second game in a row he had the go-ahead hit in the penultimate frame. He then stole third and scored, barely, on Brandon Nimmo’s ground ball to second base for an insurance run."

1964

Water from the Gowanus Canal, which flows near Dodgers' old home Ebbets Field, and water from the Harlem River, located near the Polo Grounds, once the Giants and the Mets home ballpark, is blessed and used to christened Shea Stadium. The ballpark's namesake, Bill Shea, credited with bringing the National League back to New York, pours the water from two bottles, blessing the Flushing Meadow structure on the eve of its debut.

1966

On the second day of the season, Jack Fischer gives up just five hits in his complete-game effort, beating Atlanta at Shea Stadium, 3-1. The win represents the Mets' earliest victory in franchise history.

 Baseball Reference:

2011 - The Mets are swept in a doubleheader for the second time in three days as they go down, 4 - 2 and 4 - 0, to the Atlanta Braves. In the second game, Jair Jurrjens throws seven shutout innings in his return from the disabled list, while Alex Gonzalez is the hero in the opener, hitting two of the Braves' four solo homers in support of Derek Lowe's pitching. The Mets have now lost seven in a row.

2013: The Rockies battle the elements to sweep the Mets in a doubleheader at home. The opener is delayed by two hours as an 8-inch snowfall has to be removed from the field, with Colorado owner Dick Monfort pitching in by manning a shovel, and the day concludes when Jordan Pacheco singles home the winning run in the 10th inning of the second game, for a 9 - 8 win. The Rockies also win the opener, 8 - 4, as the games are played in frigid conditions and occasional snow flurries. Reporters quip that there are more snowmen than fans at Coors Field.

2015:  Giancarlo Stanton becomes the Marlins all-time leading home run hitter when he slugs #155 for his career off Dillon Gee of the Mets. He was tied with Dan Uggla since being hit in the face with a pitch late in the 2014 season. However, the Mets go on to win, 7 - 5.
