• Omar Narváez: 
• Lofted a walk-off RBI single in the ninth...Was his third career walk-off RBI and his first since his walk-off home run in the 10th on September 14, 2019 as a member of the Mariners...Was his first hit at Citi Field, snapping an 0-27 drought to start the season.
• Adrian Houser: 
• Earned his first win as a Met...Was his third career relief appearances of 4.0 or more innings (Last: 6/19/23)...Was the first Mets relief pitcher since Trevor Williams (10/5/22, 6.0 IP) to throw 4.0 or more innings and earn a win.

Today's Game:

Dodgers (33-22) @ Mets (22-30), 4:10 pm

NYM: Tylor Megill (#38, 28, RHP, 0-2, 3.00)
LAD: Gavin Stone (#35, 25, RHP, 4-2, 3.60)

NY Post:

• Omar Narvaez's walk-off hit caps ninth-inning rally in badly needed win “All still isn’t great for the Mets, who are 7-16 in May (with the NL West-leading Dodgers on deck), but at least a losing streak that had reached five games was declared over.”
• Harrison Bader’s clutch timing right on again for Mets — at plate and at fence “His one-out, bases-loaded double over the leaping glove of third baseman Matt Chapman accounted for his 15th and 16th RBIs on the season — seven of which have come in the eighth inning or later.”
• Beleaguered starter, Adrian Houser, gives Mets a shot with four innings of sharp relief
• Mets starter feels ‘night-and-day difference’ after surgery with 2024 debut set “David Peterson will take the ball for his season debut Wednesday against the Dodgers, jumping in to what currently is a six-man rotation and bumping Adrian Houser (who pitched four, one-run innings Sunday) to the bullpen…In six starts with Low-A St. Lucie, Double-A Binghamton and Syracuse, Peterson allowed three earned runs in 23 ²/₃ innings (1.14 ERA) while walking just three and striking out 35.”

Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com: 

Born on this date:

• Ray Daviault (1934)
• Terry Collins (1949)
• Edwin Nunez (1963)
• Todd Hundley (1969)

Transactions:
New York Mets sold Kirk Nieuwenhuis to the Los Angeles Angels on May 27, 2015.

National Pastime.com: 

1987	Davey Johnson surpasses Gil Hodges as the winningest manager in Mets history with his 340th win, a 4-3 triumph over the Giants at Candlestick Park. The New York skipper, who has averaged 98 victories during his first three seasons, will compile a 595-417 record (.588) during his six-plus years with the team.
2012	A sign bearing the likeness of Mike Piazza connecting for his decisive eighth-inning home run in the Mets' 3-2 victory against Atlanta in the first professional sports event in New York City following the terrorist attacks of 9/11 proves to be the winning entry in the Mets' revival of Banner Day, a team tradition started in 1963 that lasted until 1996. The artwork, created by cousins Olivia Nuzzo and Stephanie Giangrande, included a section of the NYC's former skyline, with the WTC towers silhouetted above Piazza's heroic homer in mid-swing above the words, "The home run that helped heal N.Y. God Bless America. Let's Go Mets."

Baseball Reference:

2010:Mike Pelfrey pitches the Mets' third consecutive shutout over the Phillies, 3 - 0 at Citi Field. The Phillies' hitting woes started even before coming to New York, when they were shut out for eight innings by veteran knuckleballer Tim Wakefield two days before facing the Mets. The Mets' own knuckleballer, R.A. Dickey, baffled the Phils in the first game of the series, followed by Japanese rookie Hisanori Takahashi in the second game. The Mets have only swept a series with three shutouts one other time in their history, during their Amazin' year of 1969, also against Philadelphia.

2019 - Cody Bellinger of the Dodgers continues to have a superlative season. Today, in a 9 - 5 win over the Mets, he hits his 19th homer of the year and also throws out two baserunners. He nabs Michael Conforto at home in the 1st, and then gets Carlos Gomez at third base in the 8th, completing a double play on a throw from just in front of the warning track in right field.
