Brian Joura Mets360: "The Braves put together four hits in the third inning, with three of them being home runs, to down the Mets, 4-2, in a game delayed by rain and played in the rain drops for most of the contest. The loss drops the Mets below .500, at 18-19."
NY Post: Mets lefty 'not concerned' yet despite another dismal outing Jose Quintana was roughed up for the third time in his past four starts in Friday’s 4-2 loss to Atlanta, but both the left-hander and manager Carlos Mendoza refused to sound the alarm regarding his recent performance. After giving up three homers in the third inning and with an ERA of 7.84 in his past four outings, Quintana said Friday’s outing 'was not good,' but added that his stuff felt good. And Mendoza added he’s 'not concerned.'”
Laura Albanese Newsday: "Atlanta did all its damage against Quintana with two outs in the third. Acuna victimized his elevated sinker, driving it 461 feet to center — far past the home run apple — for his third homer of the year. Two pitches later, Ozzie Albies followed suit, getting around on a letter-high fastball and lifting it over the leftfield wall. Quintana then walked Austin Riley, prompting a quick trip to the mound. After the visit, he elevated another sinker and Matt Olson hit it 396 feet to right for a 4-0 lead."
José Quintana evaluates his outing tonight vs. the Braves:

Newsday:
- Mets' Raley shut down as lefty's elbow pain continues.
- Mets' Christian Scott relying on teammates' advice before his first start at Citi Field. "It’s not that Scott is naive to the realities of pitching in New York. He’s been talking to Luis Severino about navigating the highs and lows of pitching in a city in which mistakes so often are magnified. He’s also amped up his pregame preparation, turning to Francisco Lindor for advice on opposing teams, and adopted Sean Manaea’s habit of going through video twice: once while the emotions of the outing are fresh and again with a more analytical eye."

Born today May 11:

- Walt Terrell (1958)
- Ryder Ryan (1995)
- Jordan Yamamoto (1996)
Transactions:
New York Mets purchased Chuck Hiller from the San Francisco Giants on May 11, 1965.
New York Mets traded Charlie Williams to the San Francisco Giants for Willie Mays on May 11, 1972.
New York Mets traded Ricky Nelson to the Cleveland Indians for Don Schulze on May 11, 1987.
Pittsburgh Pirates claimed Mark Dewey of the New York Mets on waivers on May 11, 1993.
New York Mets traded Mike Remlinger to the Cincinnati Reds for Cobi Cradle on May 11, 1995.
1972 | The cash-strapped Giants, after promising the club would never trade him, send Willie Mays to New York, the city where he began his Hall of Fame career in 1951, for right-hander Charlie Williams and $50,000 cash. San Francisco owner Horace Stoneham, who could not guarantee his aging superstar an income after the outfielder retired, extracts a promise from the Mets that they will pay the 'Say Hey Kid' $50,000 a year for the ten years after the future Hall of Famer stops playing. |
1996 | On 'John Franco Day,' the New York veteran reliever is ejected from the game, along with eight other players, as the result of participating in a fifth-inning bench-clearing brawl at Shea Stadium. Prior to the game the Mets celebrated their closer's recent 300th career save, but his unavailability in the ninth leads to three hurlers combining to give up the tying runs in the team's eventual 7-6 walk-off victory over Chicago. |
1998 | Striking out 13 Diamondbacks, Cubs' Kerry Wood sets a major league record for strikeouts in consecutive games with 33 in two games. The previous record for strikeouts (32) in two starts was held by Luis Tiant (1968 - Indians), Nolan Ryan (1974 - Angels), Dwight Gooden (1984 - Mets), and Randy Johnson (1997 - Mariners). |
1999 | For the first time this century, two starting major league pitchers share the same name as the Rockies southpaw Bobby M. Jones bests right hander Bobby J. Jones and the Mets. |
2008 | At Shea Stadium, a 13-minute delay occurs in the beginning of the ninth of the Mets' 8-3 victory over the Reds, when David Ross bats out of order, making an out in Corey Patterson's place in the lineup. The very confused umpires eventually make the correct call, telling Ross to bat again, now with one out, without his teammate having an opportunity to come to the plate. |
2012 | The Mets play their 8,000th game in franchise history, dropping a 6-5 decision in Miami when closer Frank Francisco allows the tying and winning runs to score in the bottom of the ninth inning. During the thousand game span, the Amazins have compiled a 515-485 record, with third baseman David Wright being the team's top home run hitter and run producer with 143 round-trippers and 595 RBIs. |
1972 - Tom Seaver wins his 100th game in a 2 - 1 New York Mets victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Mets also acquire veteran outfielder Willie Mays from the San Francisco Giants for pitcher Charlie Williams and $50,000.
