Brian Joura Mets360: "Jose Quintana didn’t have it tonight and he put the Mets in an early hole from which they could not recover, as they lost the opener of a three-game series to the Giants, 5-2 Monday night in San Francisco."


Tim Healey Newsday: Mets' Jeff McNeil boots one, and it becomes key moment in loss to Giants. 


NY Post: Mets bats stay ice-cold for first losing streak since 0-5 start "Nick Ahmed’s two-run single in the second gave the Giants a 2-0 lead. The inning started with Jeff McNeil literally booting Jorge Soler’s grounder — the Mets second baseman kicked the ball (it was ruled a hit) — before Michael Conforto singled and Thairo Estrada walked to load the bases."


Kiner's Korner: Giants Squash Mets: "Keaton Winn stymied the Mets on four hits in six innings. The Giants scored twice apiece in the second and third as San Francisco built a four-run lead. He allowed only a Pete Alonso home run."

1962

In the team's tenth attempt, the Mets win their first game in franchise history, defeating the Pirates at Forbes Field, 9-1. Jay Hook's five-hit complete-game victory snaps Pittsburgh's record-tying winning streak of 10 games from the start of the season without a loss.

2006

Keith Hernandez is reprimanded by Sportsnet New York, the Mets' television network, for comments made last night about the female in full uniform sitting in the Padres dugout. Spotting Kelly Calabrese, the Padres' full-time massage therapist, the Mets broadcaster remarked women "don't belong in the dugout" and apologized for his insensitive comments during the telecast.

Baseball Reference:

2010: The Mets beat the Braves, 5 - 2, as Ike Davis hits his first major league home run. There is an unusual play in the 7th inning: with the Mets leading 3 - 2 with two runners on base, Jose Reyes hits a high pop-up and the umpires invoke the infield fly rule. But 3B Chipper Jones crosses in front of SS Omar Infante in the windy conditions, and the ball glances off his glove and falls to the ground. C Brian McCann picks up the ball, and not realizing that Reyes is out automatically, goes after him. He relays the ball to 1B Eric Hinske, who tags both Reyes and the bag to no avail. While the Braves are busy flogging a dead horse, Angel Pagan races around the diamond for the Mets' fourth run. Nippon Pro Baseball veteran Hisanori Takahashi replaces starter John Maine, who has to leave in the 4th inning with pain in his left elbow; he strikes out seven in three innings to pick up his first major league win.

2015: The Mets tie a team record with their 11th straight win, 6 - 3 over the Braves. Daniel Murphy drives in 4 runs as Bartolo Colon is the winner over Julio Teheran.

2019 - Zack Wheeler has a career night for the Mets against the Phillies, as he gives up no runs on 5 hits in 7 innings while striking out 11, and also contributes at the plate with a double and his first career homer. New York wins handily, 9 - 0.
