News: after tonight's game, the Mets optioned Tylor Megill to Triple-A Syracuse, per source. They can backfill his spot with a reliever to help a short bullpen over the coming days.

They have this luxury thanks to Christian Scott/José Buttó, who can fill in next rotation turn.

New York Mets traded Ed Lynch to the Chicago Cubs for Dave Liddell and Dave Lenderman on June 30, 1986.
1962 | Sandy Koufax becomes the first Dodger southpaw to throw a no-hitter since Nap Rucker accomplished the feat in 1908 when he keeps the expansion Mets hitless in the team's 5-0 victory in Los Angeles. The 26 year-old left-hander, en route to fanning 13, strikes out the first three batters he faces - Richie Ashburn, Rod Kanehl, and Felix Mantilla, on nine pitches to start the game with an immaculate inning. |
2000 | Trailing 8-2 with two outs in the eighth inning, Mike Piazza's tiebreaking three-run homer completes a ten-run miracle comeback as the Mets stun the Braves, 11-8. Nine of the runs were driven in with two outs, and the ten runs equal the most ever scored in an inning by the Mets. |
