Brian Joura Mets360: "The Mets broke two bad streaks in what was supposed to be the final game of the year. They finally scored more than two runs on a Sunday and they earned their first win this year over the Brewers, as they emerged with a 5-0 victory for their 88th win of the season. Unfortunately, the Diamondbacks also won, which means the Mets have to win one game on Monday to make the playoffs."
NY Post: "Francisco Lindor looked all the way back on Sunday, just in time to help the Mets win a needed game before hopping a charter flight to Atlanta. In his third game since returning from lower back tightness, Lindor jump-started a stagnant lineup by reaching base three times (which included a homer) in the Mets’ 5-0 victory over the Brewers at American Family Field."
John Harper SNY.TV: "Peterson came up big for the Mets, throwing seven shutout innings against the Brewers in what was easily the biggest start of his career. The left-hander allowed only one hit, a first-inning infield single by Jackson Chourio, in addition to three walks, while racking up eight strikeouts as he lowered his ERA for the season to 2.90."
Tim Healey Newsday: "The pitching matchup in the opener will be Mets righthander Tylor Megill against Atlanta righthander Spencer Schwellenbach, who shut the Mets down last week. That leaves the Mets’ Luis Severino and Atlanta’s Chris Sale available for the second game, if their team still needs to win that game."

1962 | The Mets finish their inaugural season with 120 losses, a 20th-century record when the team drops a 5-1 decision to the Cubs at Wrigley Field. In his last career at-bat, New York catcher Joe Pignatano hits into an eighth-inning triple play with Richie Ashburn and Sammy Drake on base, both who are also appearing in their last major league game. |
1971 | Tom Seaver, for the second time in his career, becomes a 20-game winner when the Mets beat St. Louis, 6-1, at Shea Stadium on the final day of the season. En route to the complete-game victory, 'Tom Terrific' whiffs 13 Redbirds to end the campaign with a league-leading 289 strikeouts. |
1979 | In his last big-league game, Ed Kranepool pinch hits in the top of the seventh inning and doubles off Bob Forsch when the Mets beat the Cardinals in the season finale at Busch Stadium, 4-2. The James Monroe High School graduate, who made his debut with the team in 1962 at the age of 17, had been the last original Met left in the majors. |
1980 | In front of only 1,754 patrons, Mets southpaw Pete Falcone beats the Pirates in the season's last game at Shea Stadium, 3-2. The crowd is the smallest ever to attend a game at the Flushing ballpark, 33 fewer fans than yesterday's meager gathering. |
1988 | Joining Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman, and Dwight Gooden, David Cone improves his record to 20-3, becoming the fourth pitcher in Mets history to win twenty games in a season. After his 4-2 complete-game victory against the Cardinals, the 25 year-old right-hander receives congratulations from a surprise visitor to the Shea Stadium dugout, former president Richard Nixon. |
1999 | Mets' shortstop Rey Ordonez plays in his 96th consecutive game without committing an error, breaking Cal Ripken's major league record for errorless games in that position. The flashy infielder will finish the season extending the record to 100 games. |
2006 | In the Mets' 13-0 rout of Washington at RFK Stadium, Julio Franco drives in five runs, tying a career-high, to become the oldest major leaguer in history to accomplish the feat. The 48 year-old first baseman, with three hits, falls a triple short of completing the cycle. |
2006 | Five years and two cities after Frank Robinson, then the vice president in the commissioner's office in charge of on-field discipline, accepts Bud Selig's offer to take the MLB-owned Expos' manager job for just one season, the franchise, now known as the Washington Nationals, will have a new skipper. Jim Bowden, the team's GM, announces the search for the replacement for the 71 year-old Hall of Famer will begin after tomorrow's season finale against the Mets at RFK. |
2007 | With the help of New York losing 6 out of their seven last games (all at home) and squandering a seven-game lead with 17 to play, the Phillies clinch the NL. East title for the first time in 14 years by beating the Nationals on the last day of the season, 6-1. The Mets' colossal failure down the stretch is considered by many to be the worst collapse by a team in baseball history. |
2009 | Ricky Nolasco, en route to the Marlins' 5-4 victory over Atlanta in the season's finale, sets a franchise record with 16 strikeouts. The 26 year-old right-hander's performance includes whiffing nine consecutive batters, one shy of the major league record set by Tom Seaver with the Mets in 1970. |
2009 | Francisco Rodriguez becomes the fourth pitcher in the history of the game to yield two walk-off grand slams in the same season when Justin Maxwell goes deep, giving Washington a dramatic 7-4 victory over the Mets at Nationals Park. Last month, Everth Cabrera of the Padres also hit a game-ending four-run round-tripper, making K-Rod Rodriguez the only major leaguer to surrender two game-winning grand slams to a pair of rookies. |
2013 | The Mets extend manager Terry Collins' contract for another two years, adding a club option for 2016. During his three-year tenure with New York, the 64 year-old skipper, who has also managed the Astros and Angels, has guided the team to a 225-261 record, the lowest winning percentage (.463) of his major league managerial career. |
