Mike Puma NY Post: Francisco Lindor’s bat breaks through to help Mets end skid with win over Giants. "Francisco Lindor carried the heft Wednesday, blasting two homers and driving in four runs in the Mets’ 8-2 victory over the Giants at Oracle Park that snapped a three-game losing streak. It completed a 3-3 road trip for the Mets, who began with two straight victories over the Dodgers before losing their next three games (in which they combined to score all of three runs)."


Tim Healey Newsday: Mets' Francisco Lindor homers twice to beat Giants, end road trip on high note. "[Tyrone] Taylor...added a solo shot. In the fifth, after second baseman Thairo Estrada failed to catch Pete Alonso’s line drive...Taylor came through again: two-run double. He scored on Jeff McNeil’s single moments later...Acquired from the Brewers to be a frequently used fourth outfielder, Taylor is batting .327 with an .868 OPS. His 13 RBIs are second on the team (behind Nimmo’s 15)."


NY Post: Mets’ Sean Manaea wanted more out of start vs. Giants: ‘Best, worst games’ "Manaea didn’t allow a run, but was also removed after 4 ²/₃ innings — disqualifying him from getting a win — upon reaching 101 pitches. Manaea walked four batters in addition to allowing four hits and struck out six."


Brian Joura Mets360: "Sean Manaea appeared to be on life support several times but somehow managed to finagle is way out of all jams until he was pulled with two outs in the fifth.  Poor call in my opinion as they were up 6-0 at the time and he deserved a chance at a win, despite how meaningless that stat has become." 


Kiner's Korner: Mets Stop Skid With 10-Hit, 3-Homer Attack to Slay Giants "Reed Garrett proved he is human -- he gave up a run, his first earned run, in his two innings of work, but he also struck out four. He has now struck out 25 of the 50 batters he has faced."

    1963

    In the second year of their existence, the Mets win a game on a Thursday for the first time in franchise history when they beat Chicago at Wrigley Field, 3-2. During their inaugural season, the expansion team failed to register a victory in the 15 games played on the fifth day of the week.

    1984

    In a 2-1 victory over Montreal at Olympic Stadium, Mets right-hander Dwight Gooden becomes the first teenager to strike out ten batters in a major league game since Bert Blyleven accomplished the feat with the Twins in 1970. The 19 year-old rookie will lead the National League with 276 strikeouts this season.

    2000

    Honoring the work stoppage called by Cuban-Americans over the Elian Gonzalez immigration controversy, Marlins Alex Fernandez, Vladimir Nunez, Michael Tejera, and Mike Lowell, Devil Rays' Jose Canseco, and Mets' Rey Ordonez and Cookie Rojas do not participate in major league action. The protest stems from the federal district court's ruling that the five year-old boy must be returned to his father in Cuba, taking him away from the maternal relatives living in Miami.

    2012

    David Wright becomes the Mets' all-time RBI leader with 735 runs batted in when he hits a two-run home run in the team's 5-1 victory over the Marlins at Citi Field. The 29 year-old third baseman passes Darryl Strawberry's franchise mark with his sixth-inning blast off Mark Buehrle.

    Baseball Reference:

    1962 - Catcher Harry Chiti is traded for himself when the Cleveland Indians send him to the New York Mets in exchange for a player to be named later. On June 15th, the Mets will sell Chiti back to Cleveland to complete the deal.

    2010Mike Pelfrey throws a rain-shortened five-inning shutout as the Mets complete a series sweep of the Braves, 1 - 0, at Citi Field. Pelfrey is in trouble all five innings, but manages to escape unscathed in extending his string of scoreless innings to 24. It is actually Raul Valdes who is on the mound for New York when the game is stopped in the top of the 6th, but everything after the 5th is wiped out, giving Pelfrey credit for a complete game. The game's lone run comes when Jose Reyes runs wild in spite of the sloppy conditions, stealing second after a two-out bloop single in the 1st, and coming to score on Jason Bay's infield single when 3B Chipper Jones's throw skips away from 1B Troy Glaus just enough to allow Reyes to dash home.
