NY Post: Brandon Nimmo’s homer lifts Mets over Cardinals to halt three-game skid. "Nimmo’s seventh-inning home run was the difference for the Mets in their 4-3 victory over the Cardinals at Busch Stadium...The Mets snapped a three-game losing streak, playing in a ninth straight contest that was decided by two runs or fewer...After two straight letdowns from their bullpen the Mets (17-18) received three innings of scoreless relief from Jake Diekman, Adam Ottavino and Edwin Diaz."
Newsday: "The Mets struck for a run in the first inning on Stewart’s two-out double. They added two more in the fifth after a pair of singles and Lars Nootbaar’s fielding error set them up with two runners in scoring position and none out. Starling Marte came through with an RBI groundout and Francisco Lindor hit a sacrifice fly."
Brian Joura Mets360: "Sean Manaea was cruising and he had a low pitch count because he did not allow a walk thru the first five frames. But he ran into trouble in the sixth, as three hits and a walk led to three runs for the Cardinals."
NY Post: ‘Struggling’ Pete Alonso was absent from Mets’ starting lineup vs. Cardinals. "Alonso entered the day in a 1-for-28 (.036) tailspin that had pushed his season numbers to .206/.295/.420."

Born on this date:
- Billy Murphy (1944)
- Manny Hernandez (1961)
- Brook Fordyce (1970)
- James Loney (1984)
- Keon Broxton (1990)
- Gus Bell (1995)
New York Mets traded Tom Hall to the Kansas City Royals for Bryan Jones on May 7, 1976.
1970 | At Shea Stadium, Wes Parker hits a triple off Jim McAndrew to beat the Mets in the tenth inning, 7-4. The three-bagger completes the cycle for the Dodger first baseman. |
1991 | Darryl Strawberry returns to New York as a Dodger with mixed results. A crowd of 49,118 mostly booing fans watches him hit a two-run home run, and they cheer when he makes the last out of the game with the potential tying and winning runs on base in the 6-5 Mets victory. |
2010 | Lance Orton and Duane Jackson, who were instrumental foiling a terrorist's attempt to set off a car bomb in Times Square, are honored at Citi Field prior to the Mets game against San Francisco. The two street vendors alerted the police after they observed a parked car on 45th Street had started to fill with smoke and was making popping sounds. |
2011 | After a first-inning walk in the Dodgers' 4-2 loss to the Mets, Andre Ethier goes 0-for-4, ending his 30-game hitting streak. The L.A. outfielder falls one game short of the franchise record set in 1969 by Willie Davis, who enjoyed a 31-game hitting streak that season. |
2013 | Mets phenom Matt Harvey continues to dominate the National League when he throws nine frames of one-hit ball along with 12 strikeouts en route to a no-decision in the team's 1-0 extra-inning victory over the White Sox at Citi Field. The 24 year-old right-hander, whose bid for perfection is spoiled after retiring the first 20 Chicago batters by Alex Rios' infield single, adds to his growing legend when he starts the game with a bloody nose, and continues to pitch despite the blood oozing on to his face. |
2016 | In the Mets' 6-3 victory over the Padres at, 42 year-old Bartolo Colon goes deep off James Shields, becoming the oldest player to hit his first major league home run. The portly right-hander, who has now collected three extra-base hits during his 19-year career, surpasses Randy Johnson, who was two years younger when he cleared the fences in 1993 while playing for Arizona. |
2018 | "It's something special. He's going down in the record books, in the Wikipedia book, which is amazing. A little kid from Belfast done good." - PATRICK CONLON, commenting on his son's major league debut. Belfast native Patrick Conlon becomes the first Irish-born player to appear in a major league game in 73 years when he starts, going 3. 2 innings in the Mets’ 7-6 victory over the Reds at Great American Ball Park. The 24 year-old southpaw, known as PJ, follows fellow countryman Joe Cleary, who was born in Cork and played one game for the Senators in 1945. |
