Mike Puma NY Post: Luis Torrens plays hero in Mets’ win over Pirates to snap three-game skid. "In addition to his bases-loaded double that accounted for the Mets’ scoring in the third, he singled and scored as part of a two-run sixth."

Tim Healey Newday Mets' Francisco Alvarez has a sore elbow, but Luis Torrens fills in just fine. "[Torrens] three-run double with two outs in the top of the third saved the Mets from blowing what would have been a third primo scoring opportunity in as many innings...Alvarez said he was sore but mostly fine after his left elbow absorbed a 99-mph fastball from Paul Skenes on Friday." 

Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: "What a difference a closer makes. After a few days of bullpen blowups, Edwin Diaz returned from his 10-game suspension Saturday, immediately shutting the door on the Pittsburgh Pirates to help the Mets win 5-2 at PNC Park. Diaz hit the first batter he faced, but struck out the second and got Andrew McCutchen to ground into a double play for his eighth save of the season."

1964

In the only All-Star Game ever played at Shea Stadium, the National League evens the all-time series at 18 victories for each circuit by beating the AL, 7-4, with a dramatic ninth-inning rally which includes a three-run homer by Phillies slugger Johnny Callison. Home team second baseman Ron Hunt becomes the first Mets player selected as a starter in the Midsummer Classic.

2008

After taking a nine-run lead into the sixth inning, the Mets hold on to beat the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, 10-9. The game is eerily similar to a 1992 contest, also played in Philadelphia, that caused Hall of Fame announcer Bob Murphy to remark after the final out, "they win the damn thing by a score of 10 to 9!"

2012

Bryce Harper becomes the youngest position player to make an All-Star team when he is named to replace Miami's Giancarlo Stanton, who is unable to participate because of an injury. The 19 year-old Nationals outfielder, who is older than hurlers Dwight Gooden (Mets) and Bob Feller (Indians) when they played in their first Midsummer Classics, surpasses backstop Butch Wynegar (Twins) as the youngest non-pitcher to be selected.
