NY Post: Mets’ third-base competition between Brett Baty, Mark Vientos far from over. "'We’ll continue to take it day by day,' Mendoza said after the Mets were rained out against the Dodgers on Monday at Citi Field. 'We’ll find playing time for both and when we get to a point where we feel like we need to make a decision, we will do it. But as of right now, [we haven’t]'...Mendoza said he didn’t know how he would handle Tuesday’s doubleheader at third base, but said he didn’t want either player to sit too long between starts."

Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: Mets have no choice but to be patient with Kodai Senga. "A prolonged rehab from a capsular strain in his right shoulder still has the right-hander sidelined with no clear end in sight. The Mets keep hoping that every setback will be the last one. It’s starting to look like he won’t be back before the All-Star Break, though it’s tough to tell since neither Senga nor the team is willing to set any sort of timeline."

NY Post: Kodai Senga appears to hint at rehab disagreement as frustrating setbacks mount "And on Monday, before the Mets were washed out against the Dodgers, the team’s ace acknowledged having 'a lot of regretful feelings' about not having gotten back on the mound and seemingly indicated that he didn’t agree with some of his rehab."

Tim Healey Newsday: Mets' David Peterson excited to pitch 'pain-free' for first time in years. "'Being able to pitch without pain is a great feeling,' Peterson told Newsday. 'And then also having more range of motion and my hip being able to work properly definitely gives me some benefits pitching-wise. I think just with my lower body moving better, more efficiently, it goes all the way up and it helps everything else fall into line.'”

1969

The day after he becomes a father, Randy Hundley hits a grand slam and a double, driving in five runs in Chicago's 9-8 victory over the Giants at Candlestick Park. The eight-pound, four-ounce baby boy named Todd will follow in his dad's footsteps, becoming a major league catcher, receiving for the Mets, Dodgers, and the Cubs.

1969

In a game that features Jerry Koosman striking out 15 batters to set a franchise mark, Bud Harrelson's 11th-inning single plates Cleon Jones to give Tug McGraw and the Mets a 1-0 triumph over the Padres at Shea Stadium. The contest marks the first victory of the team's record 11-game winning streak, which includes three walk-off wins.

1989

With runners on second and third, no outs, and the Mets and Dodgers tied at 3-3 in the 12th inning, home plate umpire Bob Davidson calls a balk against Roger McDowell which scores the winning run in the Chavez Ravine contest. Dave Anderson is waved home when the New York reliever fails to pause and make a discernible stop.

Baseball Reference:

2008 - In a rare big-name match-up in A ball, the Vero Beach Devil Rays beat the St. Lucie Mets, 2 - 0. Pedro Martinez, a three-time Cy Young Award winner on a rehab start, allows two runs in six innings to take the loss. The win goes to David Price, the top pick of the 2008 amateur draft, making his second pro start. Price allows two hits and no walks in six shutout frames, fanning nine. Martinez says: "He's amazing, that kid." 

2010Corey Hart hits a two-run homer in the bottom of the 9th inning to give the Milwaukee Brewers a 2 - 0 win over the New York Mets at Miller Park. The homer ends a string of 35 consecutive scoreless innings by Mets pitching.

2013:The Mets honor Yankees great Mariano Rivera, who has announced his retirement at the end of the year, by having him throw the ceremonial first pitch before the game between the two teams from the Big Apple at Citi Field, with retired Mets closer John Franco acting as his catcher for the occasion. However, the night doesn't end so well for Mo, as Daniel Murphy leads off the bottom of the 9th with a double and David Wright and Lucas Duda follow RBI singles to turn a 1 - 0 deficit into a 2 - 1 win. It is the first time of Mariano's illustrious career that he blows a save without retiring a single batter; it is also his first blown save of the year. (Box Score).

2016 In the 3rd inning of a game against the DodgersMets P Noah Syndergaard is ejected for throwing at Chase Utley, in apparent retaliation for Utley's aggressive slide which injured Mets SS Ruben Tejada in last year's NLDS. Umpire Adam Hamari also tosses Mets manager Terry Collins for arguing his decision, then Utley gets his revenge when he opens the score with a solo homer off Logan Verrett in the 6th and adds a grand slam off Hansel Robles in the 7th. The Dodgers hit five homers in total as they win the game, 9 - 1.

Amazing Avenue: This Date In Mets History: May 28, 2006 — El Duque wins in his debut with Amazins. Orlando Hernandez joined the rotation on this date in 2006 and Jose Valentin took over as everyday second-baseman.
