Brian Joura Mets360: "The Mets smacked three home runs in the third inning to give Kodai Senga all the runs he’d need in his debut start of the 2024 season, as the Mets won their fifth-straight game, 8-4, over the Braves Friday night at Citi Field. With the win, the Mets moved half a game in front of the Braves and are now second place in the NL East, as well as the top Wild Card."


Anthony Rieber Newsday: Mets' Kodai Senga is injured in a reversal of fortune at Citi Field. "Kodai Senga, who was brilliant in his first start of the season, injured himself while running away from a pop-up in the sixth inning...Senga was clearing out from the mound area on the pop-up when he went down in a heap and grabbed his lower left leg. The Mets later announced that he suffered a left calf strain."


Abbey Mastracco: Mets smash 3 homers in 7-run third inning but Kodai Senga leaves season-debut with injury in win over Braves. "Morton fell behind on Martinez, trying to work the outside corner against the right-handed slugger...Martinez drove it the other way for his ninth career grand slam, giving the Mets a 4-2 lead...Mark Vientos then cracked his 13th of the season with a two-run shot to left off Morton...With two out, Francisco Alvarez put one in the seats for his fifth of the year."

More Highlights and Reactions:

Mets acquired a relief pitcher yesterday and made a tone of roster moves:

Expect more moves today when Tylor Megill is added to the MLB Roster to pitch today's game - possibly moving Kodai Senga to the IL.

1963

John Bateman's eighth-inning homer at Colt Stadium will be the only run scored in the Mets' 21st consecutive defeat on the road. The 1-0 complete-game decision to Houston is Roger Craig's 16th straight loss, tying Craig Anderson's dubious club record established in the franchise's inaugural season last year.

1964

In the first clash of tenth-place teams in major league history, the Senators prevail, beating the Mets in the Hall of Fame exhibition game, 6-4. The Cooperstown combatants will collectively lose 209 games this season, but Washington will climb out of the cellar to finish ahead of Kansas City.

1975

The Mets release Cleon Jones after suspending him nine days ago for insubordination following an altercation with manager Yogi Berra. The outfielder from Alabama will not play again this year but will briefly join the White Sox next season, playing thirteen games with the club before ending his 13-year career with .281 batting average.

Baseball Reference:

1963 - The Mets hand Jim Piersall his release and the veteran outfielder will sign with the Angels. New York then loses to Houston, 1 - 0, as Bob Bruce shuts them out. Mets 1B Frank Thomas pulls the hidden ball trick on Jimmy Wynn.

1979: The Cubs top the Mets at Shea Stadium, 4 - 2, behind Dave Kingman's two home runs. 

1985 - For the second time in a week, the Mets win, 16 - 4, this time pounding the Astros in the opener of a doubleheader sweep. They break a 4 - 4 tie in the 7th with a fielder's choice by Keith Hernandez, a two-run double by Gary Carter and a three-run home run by Ray Knight. All 16 runs are unearned as relievers Frank DiPino and Mike Madden each give up 6, and starter Bob Knepper allows four runs. Jesse Orosco is the winner in the first game and earns a save for Bill Latham's first major league win in the second, a 7 - 3 victory.

1999: The Pirates defeat the Mets, 5 - 1, in one of Major League Baseball's "Turn Ahead the Clock Nights." Each team wears futuristic uniforms, with the home town squad becoming the "Mercury" Mets for the night. The futuristic theme is carried out throughout the evening, with the scoreboard flashing computerized photos of the players as each comes to the plate. Rickey Henderson, for example, is given three eyes and pointy ears, and plays "left quadrant." Al Martin hits the first of his two home runs in the 1st "sector," and rookie Kris Benson goes the distance for the win.

2003 - Catcher Gary Carter is inducted in the Hall of Fame in a ceremony held in Cooperstown, NY, wearing a Montreal Expos cap on his plaque. There was some controversy over whether he would go in as an Expo or as a member of the New York Mets, but the Hall of Fame made the final decision shortly after his election was announced in January.
