NY Post: "After Marte was robbed of an extra-base hit on Chourio’s leaping catch at the left-field fence to begin the fifth, the Mets erupted for five runs against relievers Joel Payamps and Aaron Ashby. Taylor doubled to left and Lindor drew a two-out walk. Jose Iglesias hustled out an infield hit, diving into first base to beat the throw, for an RBI single. Vientos’ ensuing two-run single put the Mets ahead 6-4. After a wild pitch advanced Vientos to second, Alonso was intentionally walked and J.D. Martinez, pinch hitting for Winker, delivered a two-run single that buried the Brewers in an 8-4 hole."


Brian Joura Mets360: "With a four-run lead, Severino settled down and was great in his final two innings of work. He found his groove and no one would have blamed Carlos Mendoza if he sent Severino back to the mound for the seventh, even with his starter having already thrown 105 pitches."


Tim Healey Newsday: Mets take Game 1 vs. Brewers thanks to five-run fifth inning, Luis Severino's late turnaround. "They beat the Brewers, 8-4, Tuesday night to grab the all-important first game in this best-of-three NL Wild Card Series. If the Mets win once more Wednesday or Thursday, they’ll advance to the Division Series against the Phillies. In the brief history of this round of the baseball playoffs, the victors of Game 1 have gone on to win the series 14 times in 16 tries."

New York Mets traded Paul Siebert to the St. Louis Cardinals for Bob Coluccio on October 2, 1978.

National Pastime.com:

1961

Two days before the start of the World Series between the Reds and Yankees, the expansion Mets introduced Casey Stengel as the franchise’s first manager. The introduction takes place at the Savoy Hilton in the same room where the Bronx Bombers held a press conference at the end of last season to announce the 70 year-old Old Professor's ‘mandatory retirement.’ During his three-plus years in the Amazins' dugout, he will compile a poor 175-404 (.302) record, but will serve as the face of the new franchise, making the team lovable losers with a loyal fan base.

1965

In the nightcap of a twin bill on the next-to-last day of the season, Mets rookie Rob Gardner, making his fifth career start, and Phillies veteran Chris Short match zeros, both going 15 frames in a game that ends in a scoreless tie after 18 innings at Shea Stadium. The 20 year-old southpaw, who eventually develops arm problems, compiles a 4-10 record along with an ERA of 4.79 during his two years with New York and wins just 14 games with six major league teams over eight seasons.

1972

Bill Stoneman throws the second of his two no-hitters when he holds the Mets hitless in the Expos' 7-0 victory at Jarry Park. The Montreal All-Star right-hander, who also accomplished the feat in 1969 against the Phillies in Philadelphia in his fifth major league start, becomes the first major league pitcher to toss a no-hitter in Canada.

1985

Mets sophomore Dwight Gooden pitches a 5-2 complete-game victory over the Cardinals and will become the seventh pitcher in baseball history to finish the season leading both leagues in wins (24), ERA (1.53), and strikeouts (268). Doc joins Walter Johnson (Senators - 1913), Grover Cleveland Alexander (Phillies - 1915, 1917), Dazzy Vance (Dodgers - 1924), Lefty Grove (A's -1930, 1931), Hal Newhouser (Tigers - 1945), and Sandy Koufax (Dodgers - 1963, 1965, 1966) in winning the major league pitching triple crown, but he will not follow the six legends into the Hall of Fame.

1986

Dwight Gooden, facing his last batter of the season, registers his 200th strikeout of the season when Luis Rivera looks at a third strike for the final out in the eighth inning of the Mets' 8-2 victory over Montreal at Olympic Stadium. The Mets' phenom becomes the first pitcher in baseball history to reach the coveted plateau in each of his first three seasons.

1988

During the season finale, Mets manager Davey Johnson receives an enthusiastic standing ovation from the Flushing Faithful when he comes to the mound to make a pitching change at Shea Stadium. With today’s 7-5 win over the Cardinals, his NL Eastern Division champs secure their 100th victory of the season.

1999

Rick Reed strikes out 12 batters without issuing a walk, hurling a complete game three-hitter in the Mets' 7-0 victory over Pittsburgh at Shea Stadium. The win puts New York into a tie for the NL Wild Card with the Reds with one game left in the season.

2004

The Expos, an expansion team in 1969, win their last game representing the city of Montreal, beating the Mets at Shea Stadium, 6-3. The franchise, which is moving to Washington, DC to become the Nationals next season, compiled a 2755-2943 (.484) record, appearing in one postseason during their 35-year tenure in the Canadian city.

2005

During the seventh inning of the final game of the season, the Mets halt play for eight minutes as the Shea Stadium crowd pays tribute to Mike Piazza, their 37 year-old All-Star catcher, who will not be with the team next season. The centerfield scoreboard features a video montage highlighting many of the backstop's magic moments in a New York uniform.

 

 

2012

"I will never be a Hall of Famer and will never lead the league in strikeouts,"- R.A. Dickey, the opening lines of his autobiography.

In his last appearance of the season, Mets' 20-game winner R.A. Dickey whiffs eight Miami batters to end the campaign with 230 strikeouts, the most in the National League. The 37 year-old knuckleballer did not foresee the possibility of this occurrence when he wrote the opening lines of Wherever I Wind Up, his autobiography released in March, unaware that he would accomplish the feat in the near future.

Baseball Reference:

2012: Seven years after being beaned on the first pitch he saw in his only career plate appearance, derailing a promising career, Adam Greenberg gets a chance to bat again in the major leagues. The Miami Marlins send him up to pinch-hit in the 6th inning against the Mets' R.A. Dickey. He strikes out on three pitches from the knuckleballer, but the crowd cheers wildly as his story of perseverance has made him a hero to many.
