Brian Joura Mets360: “The first game of the road trip did not disappoint, as the Mets banged out 22 hits and 14 runs in a 14-2 shellacking of the Rangers Monday night in Texas. It was the first time since 2019 that the Mets eclipsed the 20-hit mark and it was also their sixth-straight victory.” 


NY Post Mets’ offense erupts again with 22 hits for sixth straight win “The Mets matched their season-high winning streak with a sixth straight victory…The Mets got contributions from just about all in winning for the 10th time in 12 games…Over their last 16 games, the Mets have outscored opponents 100-69.” 


NY Post: Mets lefty David Peterson continues to prove worth in Kodai Senga’s absence “As Senga continues a deliberate rehab with the Mets from a shoulder strain — the right-hander is expected to throw a bullpen session this week…Peterson has slid into the rotation and given the Mets an opportunity to win in each of his four starts…Peterson owns a 3.97 ERA in his four starts off the injured list and the Mets are 3-1 over that stretch.”

1989

The Phillies trade second baseman Juan Samuel to the Mets for outfielder Lenny Dykstra, relief pitcher Roger McDowell, and a player to be named later, that will be minor league pitcher Tom Edens. New York's experiment to turn their new infielder, who will play only 86 games with New York, into a center fielder will fail miserably, while 'Nails' will go on to be a three-time All-Star and a cog in Philadelphia's National League championship in 1993, being selected as the runner-up for the Most Valuable Player Award.

2004

At Shea Stadium, Hall of Fame catchers Carlton Fisk, Johnny Bench, Gary Carter, and Yogi Berra take part in a pregame ceremony to honor Mike Piazza for hitting the most home runs as a catcher in baseball history. The Mets' backstop established the new mark, breaking Carlton Fisk's record, with his 352nd home run on May 5.


2012

Allowing only a fifth-inning single by Wilson Betemit in the Mets' 5-0 victory over Baltimore at Citi Field, R.A. Dickey throws his second consecutive one-hitter, becoming the first pitcher to record back-to-back one-hit games since Dave Stieb accomplished the feat in 1988. The 37 year-old knuckleball pitcher, who hasn't allowed an earned run in 42.2 innings, also limited Tampa Bay to a lone safety in his last start.

Baseball Reference:

2010: The Mets extend their winning streak to 8 games when rookie Hisanori Takahashi, with help from Pedro Feliciano and Francisco Rodriguez, shuts out their crosstown rivals the New York Yankees, 4 - 0.

2012: R.A. Dickey throws his second consecutive one-hitter in beating the Orioles, 5 - 0. He is the first pitcher to do so since Dave Stieb in 1988, and the first in the National League since Jim Tobin in 1944. The Mets' knuckleballer has not allowed an earned run in his last 5 starts. Wilson Betemit gets the only hit against him with a 5th-inning single. You Tube Link

2013: The Mets get a pair of outstanding performances from young pitchers in sweeping a doubleheader from the Braves. In the opener, second-year man Matt Harvey, 24, takes a no-hitter into the 7th inning and strikes out 13 on his way to a 4 - 3 win. In the nitecap, rookie Zack Wheeler, 23, making his highly anticipated major league debut, pitches six shutout innings and strikes out 7 as the Mets win again, 6 - 1.
