Mets stifling Cubs to win another series dampened by Edwin Diaz ejection “What should have been a feel-good performance and nice segue into the Subway Series for the Mets turned into something of a demoralizing win Sunday night. Edwin Diaz was ejected upon entering for the bottom of the ninth inning at Wrigley Field after umpires inspected his right hand and deemed him in violation of MLB’s rules on sticky substances.”

Tim Healey Newsday: "Under the norms established by MLB since 2021, when it began enforcing its longstanding policy on doctoring baseballs, any sticky-stuff ejection comes with a 10-game suspension. The league is expected to announce that punishment for Diaz on Monday. He’ll be scheduled to sit out through July 5."

NY Post: Mets’ Edwin Diaz will ‘keep using the same thing’ despite sticky-stuff ejection. 

Brian Joura Mets360: "Once again, the Mets used power to get the victory. Home runs by Francisco Lindor, Brandon Nimmo and Mark Vientos led the way, with Lindor and Nimmo going back-to-back in the third inning. Vientos’ blast came to straight-away center field, officially a 451-foot homer." 

Mets’ Luis Severino tosses strikeout-filled gem after rotation shuffle “Luis Severino may have been disappointed about getting bumped from a Subway Series start, but he didn’t let it affect his performance Sunday night. The Mets ace rebounded from a rough outing in Texas last week and pitched six shutout innings with a season-high 10 strikeouts…”

New York Mets traded Al Yates to the Boston Red Sox for Dennis Bennett on June 24, 1967.

2005

Due to Bernie Williams dropping the ball in center field, the Mets become the first National League team to hit three sacrifice flies in one inning. Backstop Ramon Castro's sac fly to right ties the game at 1-1 as David Wright advances to third; the Yankees' center fielder then drops Jose Reyes' deep fly ball, allowing Wright to score; Mike Cameron skies to right, plating Doug Mientkiewicz, who had advanced to third on an errant pickoff throw.

2008

During an eventual 11-0 interleague loss to the Mariners at Shea Stadium, Brian Runge enrages Jerry Manuel when the ump appears to show up Carlos Beltran after calling a strike on the center fielder. The commissioner's office will suspend the home plate umpire for one game for bumping the Mets manager during the ensuing heated argument, with the New York skipper and outfielder, who were both thrown out of the game, fined for arguing balls and strikes.

2018

The Dodgers tie a National League record, last accomplished by the 2006 Braves, when the team socks seven solo shots, dealing the Mets a crushing 8-7 loss at Citi Field. Former New York infielder Justin Turner delivers the decisive dinger in the top of the twelfth inning to complete the series sweep and extend the team's consecutive win streak over the Amazins to twelve straight victories.

Baseball Reference:

1969: Richie Allen is fined $2,500 and suspended indefinitely when he fails to appear for the Phillies twi-night doubleheader game with the Mets. Allen had gone to New Jersey in the morning to see a horse race and got caught in traffic trying to return. He will stay suspended until July 20th. Allen picked up a $1000 fine in May when, for two straight days, he reportedly arrived at the ballpark after the game had started. Without Allen, the Phils drop a pair, 2 - 1 and 5 - 0. Larry Hisle's homer in the opener off Tom Seaver is the only Phils score. Jim McAndrew is the winner in the nitecap, allowing two hits in eight innings.

1971 - The Mets' Tom Seaver smashes an 8th-inning homer off Montreal's Bill Stoneman to win his own game, 2 - 1.

1972 - Culminating a long battle to reach pro baseball, Bernice Gera umpires the first game of a doubleheader between Auburn and Geneva (New York-Penn League). Several disputes take place and she ejects the Auburn manager, Nolan Campbell. Gera resigns before the second game, leaving in tears, saying resentment from the other umps was a factor in her decision. She will later work in the Mets' public relations department.

1992: The Mets, behind Doc Gooden, defeat the Cubs, 3 - 2, at New York. Danny Jackson takes the loss. Gooden has now beaten the Cubs 12 straight times. Before his loss in August 1987, he had another streak of 10 straight wins over the Cubs.

1993: The Mets tie an 86-year-old record when they lose to the Cardinals, 8 - 5. They have not won two straight games for the 61st consecutive time.

2005 - Thanks to Bernie Williams dropping a ball in center field, the Mets become the first National League team to hit three sacrifice flies in one inning. Backstop Ramon Castro's sac fly to right ties the game at 1 - 1 as David Wright advances to third; the Yankee's centerfielder then drops Jose Reyes's deep fly ball allowing Wright to score; Mike Cameron skies to right plating Doug Mientkiewicz, who had advanced to third on an errant pick-off throw.

2012: The Yankees snap R.A. Dickey's streak of 44 2/3 innings without allowing an earned run with four 3rd-inning runs on their way to a 6 - 5 win over the Mets. Robinson Cano snaps a 5 - 5 tie with an 8th-inning homer off Miguel Batista. Dwight Gooden still holds the Mets franchise record with 49 consecutive innings without an earned run in 1985.

2018 - The Dodgers set a National League record with seven solo homers in an 8 - 7 win over the Mets. The last of these, hit by Justin Turner off Chris Flexen, provides the margin of victory. Enrique Hernandez and Cody Bellinger go deep twice each, and Max Muncy and Joc Pederson homer as well.
