Brian Joura Mets360: "Brandon Nimmo and Pete Alonso both homered and drove in three runs to power the Mets to a 7-5 win over the Cardinals Tuesday night in St. Louis. The Mets clinched the series win and won back-to-back games for the first time since they won their sixth straight game on April 20."
NY Post: Pete Alonso finally busts out of slump as Mets storm past Cardinals. "After Brandon Nimmo’s mammoth home run tied the game in the fifth inning and hits from Starling Marte and Francisco Lindor followed, Alonso launched a shot to right-center and was soon standing on second base thumping his chest and gesturing toward his teammates in the dugout. Alonso’s double knocked in the go-ahead runs...Alonso, who entered in a 1-for-30 skid, snapped a hitless streak of 12 at-bats with his double...he smashed a ninth-inning homer...his ninth of the season and first since he slugged No. 200 in his career on April 27 against the Cardinals."
Tim Healey Newsday: Mets defeat Cardinals as Jose Butto works through early struggles. "[Butto's] line: five innings, five hits, three runs. He struck out three and walked three...All of those runs, however, came during a 28-pitch opening inning. The first time through the St. Louis lineup, Butto allowed six of nine batters to reach base...But then Butto did what he often does in such situations: He figured it out. He settled in. He survived."
Kiner's Korner: "With closer Edwin Diaz unavailable, the Mets turned to Adam Ottavino in the 9th inning with a 3-run lead...he gave up a one-out solo home run followed by a single and a 4-pitch walk which brought the potential winning run to the plate...Ottavino settled down and struck out the next two batters, Paul Goldschmidt and Alec Burleson, to end the game."

Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com:
Born on this date:
- John Maine (1981)
- Adrian Gonzalez (1982)
- Sean Gilmartin (1990)
Transactions:
New York Mets traded Larry Foss to the Milwaukee Braves for Chico Fernandez on May 8, 1963.
New York Mets traded Jay Hook and Adrian Garrett to the Milwaukee Braves for Roy McMillan on May 8, 1964.
New York Mets released Dick Tidrow on May 8, 1984.
New York Mets traded Matt Harvey to the Cincinnati Reds for Devin Mesoraco on May 8, 2018.
1961 | The New York Metropolitan Baseball Club, Inc. announces the New York National League franchise's team nickname will be the Mets. Other names considered included the Avengers, Burros (a play on the word boroughs), Continentals, Islanders, Jets, Rebels, Skyliners, and the Meadowlarks, which was the first choice of owner Joan Payson. |
1973 | On a rainy night at Shea Stadium, the seventh-inning line drive off the bat of Atlanta's Marty Perez strikes Jon Matlack's forehead so hard that the ball ricochets into the Mets dugout. Fortunately, the 23 year-old southpaw sustains only a hairline fracture of his skull, and will return to the mound on May 19 to blank the Bucs for six innings at Pittsburgh. |
1997 | At the age 20, Ryan Jaroncyk, the Mets first-round draft pick of the Mets in 1995, retires from baseball, citing he finds the game 'boring'. The healthy, hard-working, introspective athletic graduate of Orange Glen High School (Escondido, CA), who the team had hoped to be their shortstop of the future, leaves the franchise after receiving an $850,000 signing bonus, which the club will not ask their former player to return. |
1963: The Braves acquire Chico Fernandez from the Tigers for Lou Johnson and cash, then turn around and swap him to the Mets for Larry Foss.
1983 - Darryl Strawberry gets his first major league hit, a single that scores Danny Heep, in a 10 - 5 Mets win over the Reds.
1998: Cardinals 1B Mark McGwire hits his 400th career home run in a 9 - 2 loss to the Mets. He is the 27th player to reach 400, and does so in fewer at bats than anyone in history, 4,726. Babe Ruth had taken 127 more at-bats, having held the old record.
2015 - Cole Hamels and the Philles win 3 - 1 over the Mets and Matt Harvey. Jonathan Papelbon picks up the save, his 112th as a member of the Phils, to tie Jose Mesa atop the team's leader board; he is also the Boston Red Sox all-time save leader, with 219. Only Robb Nen had previously led two separate teams in saves before him.
