Brian Joura Mets360: "Brandon Nimmo didn’t start the game but he sure did finish it. Nimmo cracked a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning, sending the Mets to a 4-3 win over the Braves Sunday night. The walk-off win, the Mets’ fourth of the season, salvaged the final game of the series."
NY Post: Brandon Nimmo’s walk-off home run lifts Mets to badly needed win over Braves. "...Nimmo felt good as he took swings in the batting cage to test the ribs before the game and summoned Mendoza to watch him. The team’s trainer, Joe Golia, also watched along with hitting coaches Eric Chavez and Jeremy Barnes. At that point Mendoza was already committed to his lineup for the night, but told Nimmo to be ready for the later innings."
NY Post: Jeff McNeil’s ninth-inning bunt paves way for Mets’ heroics: ‘In my back pocket’. "McNeil entered the at-bat without a hit — and knowing he hadn’t had much success in his career against Atlanta’s A.J. Minter...McNeil changed his approach and bunted the next pitch past Minter, on the right side of the mound. Second baseman Ozzie Albies had no chance on the play and the Mets suddenly found themselves set up to at least have a chance to tie the game."

Transactions:
New York Mets released Rickey Henderson on May 13, 2000.
New York Mets signed free agent Rick Ankiel on May 13, 2013.
1970 | With two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning at Wrigley Field, Gary Gentry gives up his only hit, a short fly hit by Ernie Banks that outfielder Dave Marshall gets a glove on, but he cannot hold on to the ball. The 23 year-old Mets right-hander settles for a one-hit complete game 4-0 victory over Chicago but could have been the first hurler in franchise history to throw a no-hit game if official scorer Jim Enright had ruled differently on the blooper to left field. |
2000 | A day after failing to hustle, turning a likely double into a single, a disgruntled Rickey Henderson is let go by the Mets. The 41 year-old stolen base leader is batting .219 with no homers and two RBIs at the time of his release. |
1972 - Buzz Capra is the winning pitcher in a 1 - 0 Mets victory over the San Francisco Giants. Capra's first major league RBI - a 2nd-inning single scoring Cleon Jones - is the only run of the game.
1980 - Ray Knight of the Cincinnati Reds hits two home runs in the 5th inning - including a grand slam - to lead the Reds to a 15 - 4 rout of the New York Mets.
2012: Another Mother's Day hero is the Marlins' Giancarlo Stanton, swinging a pink bat in support of breast cancer research, who belts a walk-off grand slam off Manny Acosta of the Mets, capping a 6-run 9th-inning rally as Miami wins, 8 - 4.
