From the Mets 7 Rockies 3 Post Game Notes - 7/13/2024:

  • Mets: 
    • The Mets are 13-2 over their last 15 games at Citi Field...They are now 27-12 over their last 39 games...Have won four out of their last five home series.
    • They have scored five or more runs in 19 of their last 25 games...12 straight games at home scoring at least five runs...They hold a record of 10-2 during those 12 games...Improve to 5-0 at home in the month of July.
  • Christian Scott: 
    • Has struck out at least five batters for the third time this season, first time since May 11 vs. Atlanta...Allowed seven hits which matches his season high at Atlanta on May 17.
  • Jeff McNeil:
    • Lined a two-run double in the right center gap in the second to extend the Mets lead 4-0...His first game with multiple RBI since June 28 vs. Houston.
  • José Butto:
    • Has now pitched 7.2 scoreless innings as a reliever this season...Has thrown 2.2 innings today marking his career high in innings pitched as a reliever.
  • Francisco Lindor: 
    • Blasted a home run to center field in the eighth inning increasing the Mets lead to 7-3...Was Lindor’s 94th home run as Met, which moves him into a tie for 20th all time with John Milner.

Brian Joura Mets360: "The Mets jumped out to a 4-0 lead, the Rockies rallied for three against the starter and in a nice twist, the bullpen gave 4.2 scoreless innings and the Mets emerged with a 7-3 win Saturday afternoon at Citi Field. It was the Mets’ fifth-straight win and pushed the Mets to four games over .500, tying their high-water mark of the year that they reached on April 20 when they were 12-8."

NY Post: Mets keep rolling with another win over Rockies as streak reaches five. "Butto and Dedniel Nunez, two pitchers who weren’t in the bullpen plans to start the season, continued to provide a lift for a beleaguered and injury-riddled bullpen."

Tim Healey Newsday: Francisco Lindor homers, Jose Butto is Mets' bullpen savior again in win over Rockies. "Butto’s numbers since the Mets called him up and stuck him in a relief role — a desperation-induced transaction — early this month: 7 2⁄3 innings, 0.00 ERA, 0.65 WHIP. He has struck out eight and walked three."

1964

The Cubs overcome making five errors in the top of the third inning and beat the Mets, 4-2. The Chicago miscues, that include shortstop Andre Rodgers and catcher Dick Bertell each committing two and first baseman Ernie Banks contributing to the total by dropping a pop fly, account for all of New York's scoring in the Wrigley Field contest.

1969

At Wrigley Field, Bill Hands and the Cubs edge Tom Seaver and the Mets, 1-0. After the game's last out, Ron Santo jumps up and clicks his heels for the first time, a move the third baseman will repeat each time Chicago wins for the rest of his career.

2001

Bobby Valentine wins his 1,000th career game as a manager when Glendon Rusch and closer Armando Benitez combine to throw a one-hitter in the Mets' 2-0 victory over the Red Sox. Trot Nixon's first-inning bunt single, a result of the New York starter's inability to cover first base, is Boston's only hit in the Shea Stadium contest.

Baseball Reference:

1969At Wrigley Field, the Chicago Cubs top the New York Mets, 1 - 0, to give Bill Hands (11-7) the win over Tom Seaver (14-4). Billy Williams singles home the winner, boosting the Cubs lead to 5 1/2 games. After the last out, Ron Santo jumps up and clicks his heels, igniting a roar from the crowd. The Mets think it's bush.

1972In his first major league game, Dave Schneck hits a 2-run homer off the Padres' Steve Arlin that turns out to be the game winner in the Mets' 3 - 2 win at San Diego Stadium.

1988: Ken Griffey singles for his 2,000th career hit in the Atlanta Braves' 9 - 8 loss to the New York Mets.

1989 - The New York Mets' Sid Fernandez strikes out 16 Atlanta Braves, but the portly Polynesian portsider still loses, 3 - 2, on Lonnie Smith's leadoff home run in the bottom of the 9th.
