Mets score 8 runs highlighted by Brett Baty's 2 homers and 4 RBIs but Jose Quintana allowed 8 Rays runs that put the Mets in a hole they could not overcome.
Mets.com: "In the second inning, the Mets staked Quintana to a 3-0 lead on a majestic three-run homer by third baseman Brett Baty, who cleared Tropicana Field’s B-ring catwalk with a 43-degree launch angle, the highest of any Mets home run this season. Rays right fielder Harold RamÃrez lost sight of the ball and waved his arms in surrender, but the ball soared into the right-field bleachers.
Anthony Rieber Newsday: Mets' Jose Quintana gets rocked, comeback attempt falls short in loss to Rays. "In the span of one outing, Jose Quintana went from virtually unhittable to very hittable. And that, in 15 words, is the story of the Mets’ 10-8 loss to the Rays at Tropicana Field on Friday night. Quintana, who gave up three hits and one run in eight innings on Sunday against the Cardinals, allowed 10 hits and eight runs in 2 2⁄3 innings against Tampa Bay."
Brian Joura Mets360: "The Mets struck back in the top of the fifth, with back-to-back doubles by Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso being the big hits in a four-run inning."

Transactions:
Toronto Blue Jays claimed Pete Walker of the New York Mets on waivers on May 4, 2002.
New York Mets purchased Logan Verrett from the Texas Rangers on May 4, 2015.
1963 | The first reported use of the familiar refrain "Let's Go Mets" is heard at the Polo Grounds in the bottom of the ninth inning during a rout by San Francisco. With the Amazins' trailing by 13 runs and down to their last out with no one on base, the rallying cry begins to be chanted by some of the 'New Breed,' the affectionate name given the fans of the National League expansion team. |
1991 | At Shea Stadium, Mackey Sasser and Mark Carreon, the first two batters in the ninth inning, both go deep as pinch-hitters off Jeff Brantley to knot the score at two runs apiece in the Mets' eventual 4-2 victory over San Francisco in 12 innings. It is the first time in the 30-year history of the franchise that two pinch-hitters have hit back-to-back round-trippers. |
2007 | The second inning Chase Field matchup of Mets first baseman Julio Franco against Diamondback fireballer Randy Johnson marks the oldest hitter-pitcher confrontation in big league history. With a mere 92+ years of age between them, the nearly 49 year-old goes deep off the southpaw, who is four months shy of 44, to extend his record as the oldest player to homer, and with his ninth-inning swipe of second, he continues to be the oldest to steal a base. |
2012 | An anonymous bidder pays $418,250 for the baseball hit by Mookie Wilson that rolled through the legs of Bill Buckner, allowing the Mets to cap a two-out rally with a 6-5 walk-off victory in the tenth inning in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. The historic horsehide was the centerpiece of memorabilia being offered by Heritage Auctions from the collection of Los Angeles songwriter Seth Swirsky, which also included Reggie Jackson's third home run ball from Game 6 of the 1977 Fall Classic ($65,725), the Ranger cap that Jose Canseco was wearing in 1993 when a ball bounced off his head over the wall for a homer ($11,950), and a 1965 baseball signed by the Beatles from the Shea Stadium concert ($65,725). |
2011: Tim Lincecum has a good night in shutting out the Mets, 2 - 0, at Citi Field. He fans 12 batters in 7 innings for the 29th double-digit strikeout game of his career. That total is the most ever by a Giants pitcher, overtaking Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson who set the previous mark back in the days the franchise played in New York.
2019 - The longest game in the history of Miller Park goes 18 innings before Ryan Braun ends it by driving the winning run with his 6th hit of the night. A two-run single with one out in the 18th gives the Brewers and 4 - 3 win over the Mets. Braun outhits all of his teammates, given Milwaukee only tallies 11 safeties as a team; in the winning rally, the Mets' Chris Flexen walks the bases loaded before facing Braun.
