NY Post: Mets drop series to lowly Angels as bats stay quiet in disappointing start to road trip. "The Mets went all of July without losing a series, but August’s early dog days have been a struggle...The Mets finished 2-for-10 (.200) with runners in scoring position on Sunday. For the weekend they were 6-for-35 (.171) in that category."


Tim Healey Newsday: Mets drop finale to Angels for first series loss since June. "The first hint Sunday afternoon that a 3-2 loss to the Angels would not go the Mets’ way came in the first half of the first inning, when Francisco Lindor — via a walk, stolen base and throwing error — wound up on third base with one out...But third base is where Lindor remained, baking under a hot Southern California sun for all of seven pitches before the inning ended. J.D. Martinez struck out looking on a pitch that might’ve just nipped the outside edge of the strike zone. Pete Alonso grounded out — hard, but an out nonetheless."


Brian Joura Mets360: "Combined with [Saturday]’s one-run setback, it was the first time this year the Mets lost back-to-back one-run games...Harrison Bader and Francisco Lindor had RBI singles with the Mets, with Lindor driving home Jeff McNeil, who had a double."


Tim Healey Newsday: 3 takeaways from the Mets' series loss to Angels: Bullpen questions, runners left on base and National League weakness.

1979

Outfielders Willie Mays (Giants, Mets) and Hack Wilson (Giants, Cubs, Dodgers, and Phillies) are enshrined into the Hall of Fame. Baseball administrator Warren Giles, who served as the president of the National League from 1951 to 1969, is also inducted during the Cooperstown ceremony.

1985

In the Mets' 7-2 victory over the Cubs at Wrigley Field, Darryl Strawberry belts three home runs, propelling the team into first place with a half-game lead over the Cardinals in the National League East. Eleven years and one day later, the 'Straw' will enjoy his second three-homer game, going deep for the Yankees three times against the White Sox in a 9-2 win in the Bronx.

2007

At Wrigley Field, Tom Glavine, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, becomes the 23rd player in major league history to win his 300th victory. The crafty southpaw, the fifth lefty to reach the milestone, limits the Cubs to six hits and a walk in 6.1 innings as the Mets bang out 16 hits and beat Chicago in a nationally televised ESPN Sunday night game, 8-3.



Baseball Reference:

1980 - Expos manager Dick Williams wins his 1,000th career game, 11 - 5 over the Mets at Olympic Stadium. He is 3rd in wins among active managers behind Gene Mauch and Earl Weaver. The Expos overcome the offense of Doug Flynn, who ties the modern major-league record with three triples. It was last done in the National League by Ernie Banks, in 1966.

2009: Mets rookie P Jonathon Niese sustains a season-ending groin injury covering first base in the 2nd inning of a start against St. Louis. His replacement, Nelson Figueroa, pitches 4 2/3 scoreless innings and hits a two-run triple in a 9 - 0 win.
