Mike Puma NY Post: Paul Blackburn delivers strong first impression as Mets begin road trip with win. "The right-hander cruised with an efficiency that Mets starting pitchers have often lacked this season, helping his new team roll to a 5-1 victory over the Angels to start a 10-game road trip that includes four cities."


Brian Joura Mets360: "Blackburn gave up six hits, two walks and a hit batter in his six innings yet it seemed like more than that. Still, he didn’t get rattled and threw enough strikes to keep his fielders engaged. The Mets turned two really nice double plays in the game that kept the Angels at bay."


Tim Healey Newsday: "The offensive highlight: a go-ahead two-run home run in the third inning from Pete Alonso, his third homer in five games."

Newsday:

Mets' Ronny Mauricio has second surgery on right knee. "Mauricio had a second surgery on his right knee this week, the Mets announced Friday, an arthroscopic procedure to remove scar tissue. That was a ripple effect of his original injury in December, an anterior cruciate ligament tear suffered while playing in the Dominican Winter League."

1962

With his sixth home run in three consecutive games, Frank Thomas ties a National League record when he goes deep off Cincinnati's Joey Jay in the bottom of the seventh inning of a Mets 8-6 loss at the Polo Grounds. The right-handed slugger, who equaled the mark with a pair of round-trippers in each game, will add another homer to his club leading total in tomorrow's contest.

1987

After his ejection in the bottom of the 12th inning for arguing a close call at first base, the Columbia Mets manager Butch Hobson yanks the bag out of the ground and brings it into the clubhouse in protest. The bounced skipper is convinced to return the base to the field because the team has only one set of bases, but not before he sprays it bright orange to make the bag easier to see for the umpire. 

1995

Making his first start for the Rockies since being acquired from the Mets, Brett Saberhagen gives up 13 hits and walks three batters, but gets the win in the team's 9-4 win over the Dodgers. The sellout crowd gives their new hurler an enthusiastic standing ovation when he departs the game with one out in the seventh inning.

2015

Mike Hessman breaks the minor league home run record with the 433rd round-tripper of his nearly 19-year career, a grand slam against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs in the Mudhens' 10-8 extra-inning International League (AAA) loss at Toledo's Fifth Third Field. The 37 year-old first baseman, who played parts of five seasons with the Braves, Tigers, and Mets, surpasses Buzz Arlett, who established the mark in 1936 while playing for the Minneapolis Millers.
