NY Post: Mets avoid no-hit ignominy thanks to ninth-inning outburst in key win over Blue Jays. "The Mets went the first 110 pitches they saw without getting a hit Wednesday and then received a huge one from their MVP, if not the National League’s. Francisco Lindor led off the ninth inning with a shot that rocketed over the right-field fence at Rogers Centre, and the Mets were alive."


Brian Joura Mets360: "The Mets then loaded the bases and got the lead with sacrifice flies from Pete Alonso and Starling Marte. Then Francisco Alvarez capped the inning with a 439-foot, 3-run homer to center field."


Tim Healey Newsday: Francisco Lindor, Mets beat Blue Jays after being held hitless until ninth inning. 'Back from the brink of infamy, the Mets (80-66) instead ended up with perhaps their best victory of the year, spurred by maybe their biggest hit of the year — another signature swing from Lindor in a season full of them. They have won 11 of their past 13 games and moved to a game ahead of Atlanta, which lost to Washington, for the final NL wild-card spot."


Tim Healey Newsday: Mets' Sean Manaea sharp again in dramatic win over Blue Jays. "If the Mets keep Manaea on an every-five-days scheduled instead of an every-five-games schedule — which would allow him to face Atlanta in the last week of the regular season — he would pitch again Monday versus the Nationals. It would be his fourth consecutive start on regular rest, territory the Mets don’t usually like to go."

Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com: 

Born on this date:

1963
"I look up into the stands, and it looks like Ebbets Field. The Mets are wonderful, but you can’t take the Dodger out of Brooklyn" - DUKE SNIDER, - addressing the Mets fans on his special night at the Polo Grounds.
In a pregame ceremony with his former Dodgers teammates, Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Don Newcombe, and Ralph Branca in attendance, Duke Snider is honored by the Mets with a special 'night' at the Polo Grounds, which coincidentally marks the last time the Giants, now located in San Francisco, will ever play in their once long-time home in Harlem. The 'Silver Fox,' obtained by the last-place expansion team in April, has recently requested to be traded to a contender.
1965
Mets rookie Dick Selma, in his second major league start, establishes a franchise mark when he strikes out 13 batters. The 21 year-old right-hander goes the distance in New York's ten-inning, 1-0 victory over Milwaukee at Shea Stadium.

1969
The Mets sweep the Pirates in a twin bill when Jerry Koosman and Don Cardwell both go the distance in 1-0 victories. Both starters drive in the only run scored in each game.
1984
Mets right-hander Dwight Gooden breaks the season strikeout record for a rookie when he whiffs Marvell Wynne in the sixth inning of his 2-0 complete-game victory over the Pirates at Shea Stadium. By whiffing 16 Bucs, Doc's total of 251 is six more than Herb Score's 1955 mark.

1985
Both New York teams host their rivals in close pennant races, thanks to a rare oddity of scheduling that has the clubs playing at home on the same day. On Baseball Thursday in the Big Apple, the Mets go into first place with a 7-6 victory over the Cardinals at Shea Stadium, and the second-place Yankees beat the Blue Jays in the ballpark in the Bronx, 7-5, cutting Toronto's lead to a game and half.
2006
The Braves are mathematically eliminated from the division race as the Mets beat the Marlins, 6-4. The New York victory ends Atlanta's streak of fourteen straight division titles, the longest run for any professional sport.

2015
Atlanta loses its 11th consecutive home game, dropping a 6-4 decision to the Mets at Turner Field. The defeat matches a franchise mark established in 1931, when the team played at Braves Field in Boston.

Baseball Reference:

1966 - Ron Perranoski of the Dodgers fans the first six batters he faces and earns a 3 - 2 win over the Mets and Tug McGraw. With the help of 2B Ron Hunt, Mets rookie SS Bud Harrelson picks off Lou Johnson with the hidden ball trick in the 6th.

1997: The Mets tie the game in the 8th and use 23 players before losing to the Expos, 3 - 2, in 15 innings. The loss goes to Joe Crawford, the second time this season he has lost by allowing a run in the 15th.
