  • Danny Young
    • Earned his first major league win.

Tim Healey Newsday: Francisco Lindor's pair of two-run doubles carries Mets past Cubs. "Overtired and dehydrated, Francisco Lindor insisted early Thursday to manager Carlos Mendoza...He wanted to play...Mendoza told him, OK, fine, but only for the second half or so of the game. Lindor needed those extra hours to recuperate. That relegated Lindor to, as he put it, “role player” for the day...It turned out to be a pretty big role."

NY Post: Sick Francisco Lindor's walk-off hit gives Mets thrilling win over Cubs after Starling Marte heroics "Lindor entered as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning and finished with two doubles and four RBIs in helping the Mets get a split in the four-game series. Harrison Bader was hit by a pitch in the 11th before Lindor delivered, scoring automatic runner Brett Baty in addition to Bader."

Brain Joura Mets360: "Adrian Houser started for the Mets and allowed 4 ER with 4 BB in 5 IP. It wasn’t a good start but there were some encouraging signs, as he induced 10 ground ball outs. It may be a case of too little, too late, though."

2008

With his three-run blast at Chase Field off Diamondbacks' ace Brandon Webb, Carlos Delgado moves ahead of Juan Gonzalez as the home run leader for players born in Puerto Rico. The Mets' first baseman's 435th career home run places the Aguadilla native 36th on the all-time major league list.

2014

The Mets set the record for the longest hitless streak by a major league pitching staff to start a season when Jenrry Mejia grounds out to second, making the New York hurlers, collectively, 0-for-46 since Opening Day. The dubious mark, previously established by the 1914 St. Louis Browns, will be extended to 64 at-bats before Jacob deGrom, in his first major league plate appearance, singles off Yankee right-hander Chase Whitley.

2015

The Nationals blank the Mets at Citi Field, 1-0, on consecutive days, marking the first time in 19 years that a road opponent has recorded 1-0 victories against the same team on back-to-back days. The Cardinals last accomplished the feat in 1996 when they held the Phillies scoreless, scoring lone runs in the April 19 and 20th contests at Veterans Stadium.
