Mets lineup breaks out again in series-opening rout of Marlins "In the Mets’ past three games — two of them victories — they have touched home 22 times and reminded that the top of the order can carry them, the middle of the order can deliver and the bottom of the order is stronger than most."


Laura Albanese Newsday: Mets' Jeff McNeil and Brandon Nimmo go deep in six-run fourth to beat Marlins. "Nimmo, who was mired in a horrific 3-for-35 (.086) and 0-for-17 slump going into the fourth inning, blasted reliever George Soriano’s hanging slider 390 feet to right as part of a six-run inning that helped the Mets earn their second win in seven games."

Newsday:

Laura Albanese: Mets' mound desires: Dedniel Nunez for stretch, Kodai Senga for postseason. "Nunez, who’s been out for nearly a month with a forearm strain, threw live batting practice at Citi Field on Friday. If all goes well, he could be ready for a rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Carlos Mendoza said...President of baseball operations David Stearns wouldn’t completely rule out Senga returning for October baseball, though it is too early to tell."

1968

After four tries, the Mets still haven't scored a run when Jim McAndrew starts a game with their 1-0 loss to Houston at Shea Stadium. In his first four major league appearances, the 24 year-old rookie right-hander has a puny 1.82 ERA, but is 0-4 due to the team dropping two 2-0 and two 1-0 decisions.

1969

The Mets sweep a doubleheader from the Padres for the second consecutive day, beating San Diego 3–2 in both ends of the Shea Stadium twin bill. Yesterday, behind solid starts by Tom Seaver and Jim McAndrews, the Amazins’ beat the Friars respectively, 2-0 and 2-1.

1973

At Shea Stadium, 42 year-old Willie Mays hits his 660th and final home run of his career off Cincinnati southpaw Don Gullett. The Mets first baseman, who played 21 seasons roaming the outfield for the Giants before coming home to New York last season, is third on the all-time home run career list behind Babe Ruth (714) and Hank Aaron (703).

2014

Michael Cuddyer is the 30th player to hit for multiple cycles, but becomes only the third player to accomplish the feat in both the American and National League, joining Bob Watson (Astros, 1977, and Red Sox, 1979) and John Olerud (Mets, 1997, and Mariners, 2001). The rare baseball occurrence is completed with an eighth inning double off Reds reliever Manny Parra, who yielded three of the hits in the outfielder's first cycle in 2009, pitching for the Brewers in a game against the Twins.

Baseball Reference:

1973 - At Shea Stadium, 42-year old New York Mets outfielder Willie Mays hits the 660th and final home run of his career off Reds lefty Don Gullett. Third-string catcher Hal King belts a pinch-hit homer in the top of the 10th inning giving Cincinnati a 2 - 1 victory.

1982 - Cincinnati's Mario Soto fans 15 Mets in a 9 - 2 victory to raise his league-leading strikeout total to 209. Soto walks none. He will finish the season with 274 strikeouts, second only to Steve Carlton's.

2010: The Mets place closer Francisco Rodriguez on the disqualified list and will not pay him until he is able to pitch again. He suffered a season-ending thumb injury punching his father-in-law last week, an action for which he faces criminal assault charges. The Mets may still try to void the last year of his contract as well, worth $11.5 million, although such a decision would be certain to be contested by the Players union.
