From the Dodgers 10 Mets 3 Post Game Notes - 5/29/2024

  • Mets: 
    • Were swept for the fifth time this season...Have lost 15 of their last 19 games and nine of their last 11 at home.
  • David Peterson: 
    • Threw 86 pitches in his first outing of the season...Began the season on the 60-Day IL after undergoing left hip surgery this off season.
  • Tomás Nido: 
    • Put the Mets on the board with a two-run homer in the fifth, snapping an 0-11 drought...Was his first time reaching base three or more times in a game since September 11, 2022 at Miami
  • J.D. Martinez: 
    • Laced a game-tying RBI double in the fifth...Is tied for seventh with Carlos Santana among active players with 373 career doubles.
  • Pete Alonso: 
    • Left the game after he was hit by a pitch in the first...Will undergo imaging.
Brian Joura Mets360: "The bullpen blew another game, turning a 3-3 tie into a 10-3 loss Wednesday night against the Dodgers. The loss meant another sweep. But that ignominy paled to what else happened in the game."

NY Post: Mets swept at hands of monster Dodgers inning just one part of miserable day. "There was Edwin Diaz being put on the IL with a shoulder impingement, Pete Alonso being removed after getting drilled on the hand and now former Mets reliever Jorge Lopez throwing his glove into the stands after being ejected, which led to his being designated for assignment following the game."

NY Post: Jorge Lopez calls Mets ‘worst team in the whole f–king MLB,’ gets DFA’d after glove-launching tantrum. "Prior to the team announcing the move, Lopez had a bizarre postgame interview with reporters in which he expressed no regret for his actions and seemingly called the Mets “the worst team probably in the whole f–king MLB,” although there was some confusion about what Lopez meant, since the native of Puerto Rico was speaking in English, his second language.

1962

The Mets complete their first-ever triple play when shortstop Elio Chacon snags Willie Davis's liner and flips the ball to Charlie Neal to double off Maury Wills at second, with the third out coming on a ball thrown to Gil Hodges to catch Jim Gilliam off first base. New York will be the victim of the only other triple killing this season when Joe Pignatano, in his final major league at-bat, pops out to Cubs second baseman Ken Hubbs, who starts a 4-3-6 play in the eighth in the season finale played a Wrigley Field.

1962

Frank Thomas strokes a double off Sandy Koufax in the Mets' 13-6 loss to Los Angeles, extending his franchise mark of consecutive games with a hit to 18 for the expansion team. The streak, which will be only one shy of Maury Wills' league-leading total for the season, is halted when the New York left fielder goes 0-for-4 in the nightcap of the Dodgers' sweep at the Polo Grounds.

2014

The Mets become the first team to have three players appear in a game whose last name begins with a lower case letter d, when Travis d'Arnaud, Jacob deGrom, and Matt den Dekker all play in the Mets' 6-5 walk-off loss to Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park. After using an upside-down capital 'P' on d'Arnaud's jersey, equipment manager Kevin Kierst, asked Majestic, MLB's uniform supplier, to make 'small' letters available knowing there be even more of a need this season.

2013The Mets complete a four-game sweep of the Yankees with a 3 - 1 win behind the pitching of Dillon Gee, who strikes out a career-high 12 batters in 7 1/3 innings. It is the first time the Mets have ever swept a Subway Series against the Bronx Bombers, as those are the only four games the two teams will play against each other this year.
