Brian Joura Mets360: "Christian Scott was terrific in his MLB debut but the Mets’ offense was MIA in Tampa, resulting in a no-decision for Scott and a 3-1 loss to the Rays Saturday night. The loss drops the Mets under .500 for the first time since April 14."


Anthony Rieber Newsday: Christian Scott impressive in MLB debut, but Mets fall again to Rays. "Scott...allowed one run and five hits in 6  2⁄3 innings. He walked one, struck out six and walked off in a tie game after throwing his 94th and final pitch to a standing ovation from the very pro-Mets crowd of 18,968."


NY Daily News: Christian Scott’s outstanding debut spoiled by Mets’ 3-1 loss to Rays. "He looked a little like a rookie when he gave up three straight hits and the tying run before even recording an out. But then he struck out Randy Arozarena and got Harold Ramirez to ground into a 5-4-3 double play. After that, he looked nothing like a rookie, cruising through the rest of his outing."


NY Post: Christian Scott’s dominant MLB debut partially spoiled by Mets’ loss. "The Mets (16-17) never found the big hit they needed, going 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position. They were burned by a pair of bases-loaded walks in the eighth, first by the previously excellent Adam Ottavino and then Sean Reid-Foley. Wasted was a brilliant play from Francisco Lindor, who had gotten the inning’s second out with a force at home plate on a backhanded stab and fadeaway throw to the plate.

1965

In a match-up of eventual Hall of Famers at Shea Stadium, Phillies' right-hander Jim Bunning beats the Mets, 1-0, for his sixth straight complete-game victory over the New Yorkers. The Philadelphia starter provides the game's lone run with a sixth-inning lead-off solo homer run off southpaw Warren Spahn, who also goes the distance, giving up just four hits.

1995

Thirty-three years after Don Zimmer played third base in the franchise's first game, Edgardo Alfonzo becomes the 100th player in Mets history to cover the 'hot corner'. Howard Johnson played the most games at the position, appearing in 835 games over a span of eight seasons.

2004

Mets backstop Mike Piazza passes Carlton Fisk for most home runs hit by a catcher when he hits his 352nd round-tripper as a catcher. The Norristown, PA native's 405-foot opposite-field historic homer comes off a Jerome Williams' 3-1 fastball during the first inning of the Mets' 8-2 victory at Shea Stadium.


2008

In the 4,000th game played at Dodger Stadium, Joe Torre's Dodgers beat the Mets, 5-1. The Los Angeles skipper also managed in the 1,000th game at the Astrodome (Mets - 1977) and Coors Field (Yankees - 2007), the 2,000th at Busch Stadium (Cardinals - 1991), the 3,000th at Angel Stadium (Yankees - 2003), and the 6,000th at Yankee Stadium (Yankees -2001).

Baseball Reference:

2012 - Two-time Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana wins his first game since undergoing shoulder surgery towards the end of the 2010 season, defeating the Diamondbacks, 4 - 3. Santana had pitched well for the Mets in his previous 5 starts this season, but the team failed to score in his first four outings, then his bullpen blew a 4 - 0 lead in the 8th inning in his fifth start.
