Mike Puma NY Post: Mets offense busts out in key win over wild-card rival Diamondbacks. "Pete Alonso homered, but the beauty of this Mets performance was the manner in which the team strung together hits in a fifth inning that didn’t end until 12 batters had come to the plate and six runs had scored."


Tim Healey Newsday: Pete Alonso ties Mike Piazza on Mets' home run list in victory over Arizona. "Lefthander Sean Manaea (10-5) continued his strong run with 6 2/3 innings (three runs). He struck out 11, walked none and carried a shutout into the seventh. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Corbin Carroll homered against Manaea before Mendoza pulled him. Over the past month, Manaea owns a 2.87 ERA in six starts."

New York Mets traded 
Gerald YoungMitch Cook and Manny Lee to the Houston Astros for Ray Knight on August 28, 1984.

New York Mets traded Alejandro Pena to the Atlanta Braves for Tony Castillo and Joe Roa on August 28, 1991.


1884
New York Gotham pitcher Mickey Welch strikes out the first nine Cleveland Blues hitters to come to the plate, establishing a major league record. The mark will last until 1970 when Mets right-hander Tom Seaver strikes out the last ten San Diego he faces in a Shea Stadium contest.
1962
Al Jackson limits the opposing batters to three hits, going the distance in the Mets’ 2-0 victory over the Phillies at Connie Mack Stadium. The 26 year-old left-hander’s effort marks the fourth time he has blanked the opponents, accounting for all of the expansion team’s shutouts the entire season.

2003
Jose Reyes becomes the youngest player in major league history to hit a home run from each side of the plate. The 20 year-old shortstop accounts for all the Mets runs, hitting a solo shot from the right side of the dish off southpaw Mike Hampton in the fifth inning, and then, batting as left-handed hitter in the ninth, a two-run dinger off right-hander Trey Hodges in the team's 3-1 victory over Atlanta at Turner Field.


1989: Frank Viola and the Mets outduel Orel Hershiser and the Dodgers 1 - 0 in the first-ever regular-season matchup of defending Cy Young Award winners.

1993:The Mets sign P Kirk Presley, their top pick in this year's amateur draft, for $960,000. The pitcher is a distant cousin of Elvis Presley. In 1999Gerry Hunsicker will recall his decision to draft Presley: "I didn't make one of the brightest decisions of my career when I passed on a young pitcher out of Ferrum College (Billy Wagner) and chose another who never got out of A ball."
