Brian Joura Mets360: "Remember back in May when the Mets lost three straight games in which they hit three home runs because the pitching was so bad? It was something that had happened only four times previously in MLB history. Well, the Mets here in the second half don’t lose when they hit three homers. And that’s what happened Tuesday night, as the Mets beat the Red Sox, 7-2, behind another strong start from David Peterson."
Tim Healey Newsday: Mets beat Red Sox for sixth straight win behind Francisco Lindor's big game. "Lindor led the way: 2-for-4 with three RBIs and a steal. He opened the scoring with a two-run home run in the third and added a run-scoring double in the game-sealing, four-run eighth."
David Peterson dominates again with 11 strikeout gem in Mets' win. "...David Peterson, who continued his stellar run in the Mets’ sixth straight win, as the lefty allowed just one run over six innings and struck out a career-high 11...He also lowered his season ERA to 2.75 and has been even better in his last seven outings, with a 1.81 ERA — seventh-best in the majors in that span."

New York Mets released Barry Lyons on September 4, 1990.
1978 | In his first major league at-bat, Dorian Boyland strikes out sitting on the bench. The Pirate rookie is removed with a 1-2 count when the Mets make a pitching change and pinch-hitter Rennie Stennett takes the third strike. |
1985 | Following a three-homer performance last night, Gary Carter ties a major league record by hitting two solo round-trippers, becoming the 11th player in major league history to hit five home runs in two games. The future Hall of Fame catcher's offensive output, which also includes a run-producing single, contributes to the Mets 9-2 victory over the Padres at Jack Murphy Stadium. |
1966: Chris Short shuts out the Mets, 5 - 0, the 5th complete game win in a row for the Phillies' pitchers.
1972: The Cubs top the Mets, 2 - 0, as Fergie Jenkins posts his 19th win. The Cubs then drop the second game, 7 - 2, to Gary Gentry, who strikes out 8.
