NY Post: Francisco Lindor, Mets extend struggles in loss to Guardians. "The Mets shortstop wasn’t alone in futility, but as somebody batting only .193 after his 0-for-4 performance, his troubles certainly are pronounced...Tylor Megill, in his return from the injured list, allowed three runs, one unearned, on four hits and two walks with seven strikeouts...The Guardians jumped on Megill in the first for two runs, one of which was unearned following Brandon Nimmo’s error in left field."


Brian Joura Mets360: "But even though it was a road game, the Mets’ bats were mostly silent. The only run came on a homer by Tomas Nido, a ball he absolutely crushed. And his reward was getting pinch-hit for in the top of the seventh inning."


Tim Healey Newsday: Brett Baty fails in big spot as Mets fall to Guardians. "In the Mets’ last best chance to save themselves Monday night, Brett Baty was the man of the moment, batting with the bases loaded and two outs in the top of the sixth, the score tight. He struck out on three pitches against reliever Nick Sandlin. The would-be rally was over. The game soon followed. The Mets dropped the series opener to the Guardians, 3-1, for an 11th loss in their past 16 tries."


NY Post: Mets’ inexplicable base running blunder leads to embarrassing double play: ‘Oh goodness’.  "Starling Marte hit into a 1-6-5-3 double play...J.D. Martinez, who was caught between second and third base and was eventually tagged out by third baseman José Ramírez...as Marte was going to attempt to get to second, he turned back to go to first. Ramírez noticed what was going on and made a quick throw to first base and Josh Naylor was able to apply the tag in time to complete the double play."

1969

The Mets are at .500 at the latest point of the season in team history. The 18-18 record is reached when Tom Seaver blanks the Braves at Atlanta Stadium, 5-0.

2005

When Dae-Sung Koo bats against Randy Johnson, Mike Piazza confides to David Wright in the dugout, "If he gets a hit, I'll donate a million dollars to charity." The Korean reliever, batting lefty off the Yankee fire-balling southpaw and who was afraid to stand in the batter's box in a previous game, promptly hits a 91-mph fastball to the wall in center for a double, causing the Mets catcher to remark he'll be making a significant donation to a charity over the next 20 years.

2008

"It's been a lot of negative stuff going on around here and I've been feeling some of that and I was just expressing how I felt at the time, but it wasn't anything to do with race. I wasn't trying to bring race into it. I probably should have thought more about what I was going to say." - Mets manager Willie Randolph

Willie Randolph apologizes for his negative remarks concerning SNY's coverage of him as the Mets skipper. The first black major league manager hired in New York had brought up race when asked about the way he is being portrayed by the team's TV network.

Baseball Reference:

1975 - The Reds, entering the game with a 20-20 record, five games behind the first-place Dodgers, come from behind to beat Tom Seaver and the Mets, 11 - 4. Cincinnati will go on to win 41 of 50 games and run away with the National League West title.
