- Jose Quintana: Struck out a season-high six batters...His previous season high was four on eight separate occasions...Has allowed three runs or fewer in six straight starts... Was his first start with 6.0 or more innings and two or fewer hits since September 17, 2022.
- Brandon Nimmo: Gave the Mets a 1-0 lead with an RBI double in the fourth...He now has a career 148 doubles, tied with Lee Mazzilli for 16th on the Mets all-time leader board..Also recorded an RBI single in the eighth.
- J.D.

Charlie Hangley Mets360: “On a date
freighted with New York Mets history, both disastrous and triumphant, the Mets
got themselves a win over a quality team. This makes it two in a row over the
Padres, eight-out-of-ten overall, another series win and maybe something
brewing this season after all.”
NY Post: J.D. Martinez's two homers lead suddenly hot Mets to
fourth straight win “Martinez continued his recent offensive binge with two
more home runs Saturday to support one of Jose Quintana’s finest starts of the
season in a 5-1 win over the Padres at Citi Field. Carlos Mendoza’s team
suddenly has won four in a row — and 10 of its past 14 games since a
players-only meeting in late May.”
Brian
Heyman Newsday: Mets' J.D. Martinez homers twice, Jose Quintana and bullpen
combine on two-hitter in win over Padres. "Quintana arrived at 1-5
with a 5.29 ERA across 13 starts. The 35-year-old lefthander’s previous start
lasted 3 2⁄3 innings, and the one before that lasted four. This one was a vast
improvement. He fanned a season-high six and walked two. Mendoza liked his
pitch sequencing and Quintana felt he was reading swings better."

Baltimore Orioles claimed Rich Becker of the New York Mets on waivers on June 16, 1998.
New York Mets signed free agent Heath Bell on June 16, 1998.
1997 | At Yankee Stadium, the Mets beat their crosstown rivals, 6-0, in the first-ever regular-season game between the two teams. Dave Mlicki throws a complete-game shutout, blanking the Bronx Bombers on nine hits. You Tube Link. |
2003 | Dontrelle Willis throws a complete-game one-hit shutout in the Marlins' 1-0 win over the Mets at Pro Player Stadium. The D-Train's victory, which improves his record to 6-1, marks the start of the baseball world taking notice of the high-kicking southpaw phenom, who goes on to win the Rookie of the Year. |
2010: The Mets continue their roller-coaster season, winning their 6th in a row with an 8 - 4 decision over Cleveland. All nine Mets starters collect at least one hit and either score or drive in a run. Shelley Duncan, making a rare start in LF for the Indians, helps out with some poor defensive play but does atone himself somewhat with a two-run homer off winner Jon Niese.
2011: The Braves beat the Mets, 9 - 8, on an anticlimactic play in the 10th inning. After rallying from two runs down in the bottom of the 9th on Brooks Conrad's two-run homer off closer Francisco Rodriguez, the Braves take advantage of a balk by reliever D.J. Carrasco that allows Diory Hernandez to score the winning run. Before coming back, the Braves blow a 6 - 2 lead by giving up a four-run 5th inning to the Mets. Chipper Jones drives in 5 runs, tying a career best.
2013: Seemingly asleep for 8 innings, the Mets suddenly wake up in the bottom of the 9th as Carlos Marmol is trying to protect a 3 - 0 lead for the Cubs. Marlon Byrd starts off the inning with a solo homer, Lucas Duda draws a walk and John Buck singles. Omar Quintanilla bunts both runners into scoring position before Kirk Nieuwenhuis, hitting .097 for the season, connects for a walk-off three-run homer. Marmol is only pitching because closer Kevin Gregg, who has been perfect in 10 save opportunities so far, is unavailable after pitching in the Cubbies' last four games.
