Brian Joura Mets360: "The offense started early, with Francisco Lindor and Mark Vientos hitting back-to-back doubles in the first inning to jump out to an early 1-0 lead. The Mets added two more runs in the fourth on a passed ball and an infield single."


Mike Puma NY Post: Mets start critical 10-game road trip with solid win over Padres. "Severino walked Jurickson Profar to load the bases with nobody out in the fifth, but got Jake Cronenworth to hit into a double play — Iglesias lunged to stop the sharply hit grounder and Pete Alonso managed to keep his foot on first base while falling to secure Lindor’s throw. 'For me that was the play of the game right there,' Mendoza said. 'Sevy was able to finish that inning and then the bullpen came in and did a hell of a job.'”


Tim Healey Newsday: Mets keep rolling, use 5-run ninth inning to pull away from Padres. "The Mets (67-61) used a five-run ninth inning to turn what had been a close contest into a blowout of San Diego (72-57), one of the clubs they are chasing in the National League wild-card race. With the victory, the Mets remained 1 1/2 games behind Atlanta for the last berth."

Transactions:
New York Mets traded Gary Bennett to the Colorado Rockies for Ender Chavez on August 23, 2001.

New York Mets released Brian Dozier on August 23, 2020.

2001

In his major league debut, Rockies right-hander Jason Jennings throws a complete-game shutout, blanking the Mets at Shea Stadium, 10-0. Additionally, the 23-year-old rookie enjoys a 3-for-5 day at the plate, including a solo home run leading off the ninth inning off Donnie Wall.

2006

Carlos Delgado's 400th career home run, his second of the game, proves to be significant when his fourth-inning grand slam dramatically closes the gap in the Mets' eventual 8-7 comeback victory over the Cardinals at Shea Stadium. The bases-loaded home run is New York's ninth of the season, establishing a new club record.

2009

After making an error and a poor play allowing a batter to reach on an infield hit, Eric Bruntlett redeems himself when he turns the Mets' attempted double steal into a game-ending unassisted triple play, marking only the 14th regular-season triple-killing. The rare event occurs when the second baseman snares Jeff Francoeur's line drive for the first out, steps on second to double up Luis Castillo, and then tags the runner coming from first base, Daniel Murphy, for the last out of Phillies' 9-7 Citi Field victory.

Baseball Reference:

1964Mets pitcher Willard Hunter picks up half his career wins (4) today as New York sweeps the Cubs, 2 - 1, in 10 innings, and 5 - 4 in the nitecap. No one has ever won a pair more efficiently as he totals 1 2/3 innings of work. Bob Buhl and Don Elston pick up losses.

1970Don Gullett strikes out six straight batters and pitches four innings with no runners reaching base in beating the host Mets, 7 - 5. Gullett strikes out eight in the last four innings. The Reds win on Jimmy Stewart's 3-run pinch homer off Tom Seaver

1992: In his last outing as a MetDavid Cone (13-7) gives up four runs in seven innings in losing to the Padres, 4 - 3. Cone gives up just three hits. Mets Bobby Bonilla homers in his fourth consecutive game, tying the club mark. 

2019 - For the second time this year, Jacob deGrom strikes out at least 13 batters and also homers in a game, limiting the Braves to 1 run over 7 innings. However, his long ball is the only offense for the Mets tonight, who go on to lose the game, 2 - 1, in 14 innings on Billy Hamilton's first hit with Atlanta. DeGrom records his 200th K of the year in the game, as New York's pitchers combine for a total of 26, tying the major league record for an extra-inning game. Before deGrom did it twice in a season, no pitcher had ever struck out 13 or more batters and homered in the same game more than once in his career. For Atlanta, Ronald Acuna becomes the second youngest player to record a 30-30 season, after Mike Trout.
