From the Astros 9 Mets 6 Post Game Notes - 6/29/2024:

  • Mets
    • Saw their season-high eight game home winning streak come to an end.
    • Blew a five run lead, tied for their largest blown lead of the season (Also: 5/18 at Miami).
    • Have scored five or more runs in five straight games for the second time this season (Also: 4/8-4/13).
    • Have homered in 12 straight games, their longest such streak since May 16 - June 1, 2023 when they homered in 15 straight games.
  • Jose Iglesias: Put the Mets on the board with an infield single in the second...Is batting .457 (16-35) through his first 10 starts of the season, the best mark in franchise history by a player in their first 10 starts with the club (Min. 25 at-bats)...Is batting .425 (17-40) through his first 18 games with the club, the second-best mark in franchise history behind only Greg Jefferies' .426 (23-54) mark (Min. 35 at-bats).
  • Brandon Nimmo: Recorded an RBI double in the second, extending his on-base streak to 14 games...Has a .446 OBP during the streak...Is his longest on-base streak since reaching base safely in 19 straight games from September 15, 2022 - April 1, 2023.
  • Francisco Lindor: Laced a single to lead off the first...Is batting .483 (14-29) as the first batter of the game, the best such mark in the majors (Min. 25 at-bats)...Picked up his 15th stolen base of the season in the first, his most prior to the All-Star Break.
  • Mark Vientos: Ripped a solo homer to center field in the third...Has five home runs and a 1.116 OPS over his last nine games...Is batting .359 (19-53) against left-handed pitchers this season.
  • Ty Adcock: Threw 1.2 scoreless inning in his Mets debut.
NY Post: Mets blow five-run lead as bullpen crumbles in loss to Astros. "Tylor Megill and a shortened bullpen flushed a five-run lead — and a chance to take over the third wild-card position in the National League — with a 9-6 giveaway loss to the Astros that snapped a four-game winning streak."

Steven Shrager Mets360: The Mets pounded out 11 hits, but only three after the third inning....After knocking out Valdez after 4 2/3, the Astros pen shut the Mets down giving up only 1 hit and 1 walk the rest of the way.

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.



1962With the aid of 13 strikeouts and a Frank Howard home run, Sandy Koufax no-hits Bob Miller and the Mets, 5 - 0 in Los Angeles. Sandy starts off the game by fanning the side on nine pitches in the 1st inning, the first National League pitcher to strike out the side on nine pitches since Brooklyn's Dazzy Vance, in 1924. It will be the first of four career no-hitters thrown by Koufax.

1973The Cubs, leading by seven games, lose to the Mets and Jon Matlack, 2 - 1.

1979: Despite a Home Run by Ex-Met Dave Kingman and Ex-Met Mike Vail's grand slam, the Mets score six runs in the top of the 11th to break a 3 - 3 tie with the Cubs. Chicago storms back with five runs in the bottom of the frame including the grand slam by Mike Vail, but New York hangs on to win the game, 9 - 8. (Box Score).

1993: The Mets defeat the Marlins, 7 - 1, to win consecutive contests for the first time in 65 games.

1997: Bobby Higginson belts three home runs and drives in seven runs and Justin Thompson allows four hits in eight innings as Detroit kicks the Mets, 14 - 0. It is the most lopsided shutout in Mets history. Detroit hits more homers (6) than the Mets have hits (5), and it is the most home runs given up by Mets pitchers since April 291978.

2000: After trailing 8 - 2 with two outs in the 8th inning, Mike Piazza's tie-breaking three-run homer completes a 10-run miracle comeback as the Mets stun the Braves, 11 - 8. Nine of the runs are driven in with two outs and the ten runs equal the most ever scored in an inning by the Mets.

2012Johan Santana shuts out the Dodgers, 5 - 0, allowing 3 hits over 8 innings. It is the Dodgers' seventh consecutive loss. Ike Davis hits a three-run homer for the Mets.
