9/15/2024 Box Score: Philadelphia Phillies 2 New York Mets 1

Lindor SS;  1 for 1; Acuña SS;  0 for 3; 1 K; Vientos 3B;  0 for 4; 4 Ks; Alonso 1B;  2 for 4; 1 K; Nimmo LF;  1 for 4; 1 K; Martinez, J DH;  0 for 4; 1 K; Iglesias, J 2B;  1 for 4; Torrens C;  0 for 2; 1 walk; Winker PH;  0 for 1; 1 K; Alvarez, F C;  0 for 0; Taylor, T RF;  1 for 3; 1 run; 1 RBI; 1 K; Bader CF;  1 for 3; Peterson, D; 7.2 innings; 1 run; 1 ER; 4 hits; 1 walk; 6 Ks; Maton, P; 0.1 inning; no runs; Díaz (L, 5-4); 0.2 inning; 1 run; 1 ER; 2 hits; 2 Ks; 


Brian Joura Mets360: "For the second straight day, the Mets couldn’t hold a late lead. After scoring the game’s first run in the top of the eighth inning, David Peterson allowed the tying run to score in the bottom of the eighth and Edwin Diaz surrendered the game winner in the ninth, as the Mets lost a heartbreaker to the Phillies, 2-1 Sunday afternoon."


John Harper SNY. TV: "Peterson bounced back in a big way from his poor start last week in Toronto, holding the Phillies to one run over 7 2/3 innings, his longest outing of the season. The left-hander shut out the Phils for seven innings before giving up a run in the eighth on back-to-back doubles by Weston Wilson and Buddy Kennedy."


Dan Martin NY Post: Edwin Diaz gives up walk-off hit as Mets drop another gut-wrencher to Phillies after Francisco Lindor exits. "Diaz opened the inning by striking out Bryce Harper before Nick Castellanos singled to right. Castellanos stole second as Alec Bohm whiffed for the second out, but Realmuto ended the game with a base hit to right that scored Castellanos."


Dan Martin NY Post: Francisco Lindor set for MRI with back soreness jeopardizing his Mets availability. "He’s set to get an MRI exam Monday in Queens with his availability for the near future in question."


NY Post: Mets’ struggling stars can’t let season spiral into a potential Francisco Lindor what-if. "Lindor isn’t the whole team, and yet it seems that way when players such as Alonso, Brandon Nimmo and J.D. Martinez, in particular, aren’t producing. On Sunday that group combined for three singles, with Tyrone Taylor’s home run in the eighth inning accounting for the only Mets run."


John Harper SNY.TV: After latest gut punch, Mets must once again respond to earn NL wild-card berth.

Transactions:

New York Mets released Wayne Kirby on September 16, 1998.

New York Mets signed free agent Elvin Ramirez on September 16, 2004.

Baltimore Orioles claimed Eric Hanhold of the New York Mets on waivers on September 16, 2019.



1975
Mike Vail fails to break the major league rookie record for consecutive games with a hit shared by Richie Ashburn (1948, Phillies) and Alvin Dark (1948, Braves). The 23 year-old freshman left fielder has plenty of opportunities to hit safely in his 24th straight game, coming to the plate eight times in the Mets' 18-inning marathon with Montreal, a 4-3 victory over the Expos at Shea Stadium.
2007
David Wright, homering in the seventh inning of a 10-6 loss to Philadelphia at Shea Stadium, becomes the 30th member of the 30-30 club. Returning to the dugout, the Mets third baseman is greeted by hitting coach Howard Johnson, who along with Darryl Strawberry are the other Metropolitans to have also stolen thirty bases and hit 30 homers in the same season.


1966 - The Mets (5) and Giants (3) tie a major-league record by using eight pinch hitters in the 9th inning as the Mets win, 5 - 4. Willie McCovey hits a 500-foot home run, judged the longest ever at Candlestick Park.

1971: At New York, lefty Juan Pizarro shuts out the Mets and Tom Seaver, 1 - 0. Pizarro does it all, clubbing a solo homer to win his own game. It's Pizarro's second shutout in a row and Seaver's first loss after seven straight wins. Tom's last loss was August 1st, also to Pizarro.

1996: In their 5 - 2 loss to the BravesMets OF Lance Johnson hits his 20th triple. He's the first National Leaguer to reach that plateau since Willie Mays in 1957.
