NY Post: Mets fall to Astros in extras after nearly three-hour rain delay as thin bullpen exposed again.  "In the rubber game, they trailed the Astros by four, began the comeback in the sixth inning, tied it in the seventh but lost the contest in extra innings."

Anthony Rieber Newsday: Mets fall to Astros in 11 innings after nearly three-hour rain delay. "After a delay of 2 hours, 47 minutes, play resumed with the Mets ready to walk it off and reward the hometown fans among the crowd of 26,853 who stayed throughout the long delay.  But the Mets ended up falling to the Astros in 11 innings, 10-5, as Houston scored five runs against reliever Matt Festa, who the Mets had just called up on Sunday morning for their depleted bullpen."

David Lennon Newsday: Mets need to sort out pitching woes if they want to stay in wild-card race. "This weekend series may have kicked off with Jose Iglesias’ flash “OMG” concert, but it ended with a cry for help. And from a pitching perspective, we’d expect that to only get louder in the stressful days ahead."

Jon Heyman NY Post: His time to shine Mets’ season hinges on David Stearns acing first trade deadline test Jon looks at potential pitchers the Mets might trade for including: Tanner Scott, Marlins; Mason Miller, A’s; Pete Fairbanks, Rays; Kyle Finnegan, Nationals; and Paul Sewald, Diamondbacks.

1943
Although the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League will not have an official All-Star Game until 1946, two teams, one composed of South Bend Blue Sox and Rockford Peaches players and the other made up of players from the Kenosha Comets and Racine Belles, put on an exhibition game under the lights at Wrigley Field. The AAGPBL contest is the first night game ever played in the historic Chicago ballpark.
1966
Woody Fryman faces the minimum 27 batters in the Pirates' 12-0 rout of the Mets at Shea Stadium. New York leadoff hitter Ron Hunt singles to center to start the bottom of the first, but is tagged out trying to swipe second base.

2013
Before the game at Citi Field, the Mets and Diamondbacks honor the 19 firefighters killed while battling a wildfire in Yarnell, Arizona with a moment of silence. Additionally, each team hangs a jersey with the word Yarnell stitched on the back above the number 19 in their respective dugouts.


Baseball Reference:

1973: At Wrigley Field, the Mets edge the Cubs, 6 - 5, in the first game of a doubleheader. Then it is the Cubs' turn, as Randy Hundley bangs a 9th inning 3-run homer to give Chicago the 6 - 5 edge. Ron Santo has seven hits for the afternoon, five in the nitecap.

1998 - Trailing the Mets, 8 - 7, in the bottom of the 8th inning, Toronto comes up with eight runs. New York fights back with two in their half of the 9th, but the Blue Jays hold on for a 15 - 10 triumph.

2009: Is the era of high scoring over ? For the first time since September 1, 1976, three National League games end in 1 - 0 scores on the same day. All of the shutouts are combined efforts: Mike Pelfrey of the Mets beats Milwaukee, Johnny Cueto leads the Reds over Arizona, and the Dodgers defeat Colorado with an 8th-inning run.
