Brian Joura Mets 360: "Mets pitchers gave up six home runs and came out on the losing end of an 8-5 game Monday against the Rockies at Citi Field. The loss snapped a five-game winning streak and puts the Mets’ record at 48-45 as we reach the All-Star break."

NY Post: Mets allow six homers in loss to Rockies as winning streak ends before All-Star break. "...the Mets’ record stood at a dreadful 24-35 on June 2, but Mendoza’s resurgent team still finished with 25 wins over its final 36 games heading into the four-day break. The Mets remain in the third wild-card position in the National League with a 49-46 overall mark when they reconvene for a three-game series against the Marlins beginning Friday in Miami."

Born on this date:

Transactions:
New York Mets traded Ron Darling and Mike Thomas to the Montreal Expos for Tim Burke on July 15, 1991.

New York Mets signed free agent Vic Darensbourg on July 15, 2004.

National Pastime.com

 

2013

NL manager Bruce Bochy names Matt Harvey as the National League's starter. The 24 year-old rookie right-hander, who becomes the first Mets pitcher to start an All-Star Game since Dwight Gooden got the nod in 1988, will be the sixth hurler to start the Midsummer Classic in his home ballpark when he faces the American League lineup tomorrow at Citi Field.

 

 

Baseball Reference:


1969
The New York Mets rough up Fergie Jenkins for three home runs, including Al Weis's second in two days, to beat the Chicago Cubs, 9 - 5. The Cubs now lead New York by 3 1/2 games. At the end of the game Tom Seaver jumps out of the dugout and clicks his heels several times, mocking Ron Santo's gesture of the day before. The Mets will win tomorrow as well.

1975 - The National League rallies for three runs in the 9th inning to win the All-Star Game at Milwaukee, 6 - 3. The Chicago Cubs' Bill Madlock and the New York Mets' Jon Matlack share the game's MVP award.

1978: Pete Rose collects a hit in his 28th straight game, setting a Cincinnati Reds club record (post-1900) as the Reds beat the New York Mets, 7 - 5. His hit comes off Craig Swan. On the 18th, he'll hit in his 31st straight game to top the all-time Reds record set by Elmer Smith in 1898.

1991The New York Mets trade pitcher Ron Darling and minor league P Mike Thomas to the Montreal Expos in exchange for pitcher Tim Burke.

1994In the second game of a doubleheader against the San Diego Padres, the New York Mets' Bret Saberhagen goes 10 innings, striking out 11, giving up five hits and allowing no runs. Consistent with his record-setting season, he walks none.

2001Behind Mike Piazza's three hits and three RBIs, the Mets win, 5 - 2, over Toronto as both teams celebrate Negro League Tribute Day by wearing old Negro League uniforms. The Mets wear that of the NY Cubans1947 Negro National League champs, while the Blue Jays are in the uniforms of the Chatham All-Stars.

2010Unused in the All-Star GameGiants pitcher Tim Lincecum starts his team's first game after the break and pitches a shutout over the Mets for his 50th career win, 2 - 0. R.A. Dickey is the loser in spite of a solid effort of his own.

2012Ben Sheets makes a successful return to the big leagues, a few days short of two years since his last game before undergoing Tommy John surgery. He keeps the Mets scoreless over 6 innings as the Braves win, 6 - 1. The game features the ejection of Mets pitching coach Dan Warthen, who starts arguing with home plate umpire C.B. Bucknor during a 6th-inning mound visit; the Braves score all their runs in that inning, highlighted by Freddie Freeman's three-run homer off Johan Santana.
