Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: Brandon Nimmo scores lone run as Mets’ bats go cold again in loss to A’s. "A lineup that was expected to mash has done so in what seems like fits and starts through 14 games this season. Saturday against the A’s, the Mets put traffic on the basepaths and made right-hander J.T. Ginn throw more pitches than he likely wanted to, but only had one run to show for it."
Tim Healey Newsday: Mets' bats go quiet in loss to Athletics, J.T. Ginn. "For as deep and dangerous as the Mets’ lineup may well be, here is their early-season reality: It is top heavy. When the big bats at the beginning don’t get it done, the others haven’t, either...The first third of the Mets’ order finished 0-for-9."
Mike Puma NY Post: Pete Alonso can’t carry Mets again in frustrating loss to A’s. "Pete Alonso is the engine driving the Mets lineup these days, but what happens when that motor isn’t running?...With the first baseman hitless in his four at-bats, the Mets lost 3-1 to the A’s at Sutter Health Park, setting up a series rubber game on Sunday.
Brian Joura Mets360: "David Peterson turned in a solid outing, giving up two runs in six innings, the only runs allowed coming in the fourth inning when the A’s strung together four hits and crossed the plate twice. Peterson came back strong in the fifth and sixth innings and appeared to have more gas in the tank. But Carlos Mendoza removed him, bringing in Jose Butto, who gave up a third run while finishing the final two innings."
Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: Mets Notebook: Carlos Mendoza wants Brett Baty to have fun again. “I think he needs to go back to enjoying it,” Mendoza said Saturday at Sutter Health Park. “I know he’s only had 20-some at-bats or something like that, but he’s a big leaguer. It’s making sure that you go out there and then you have fun. You go out there and compete and just be yourself…“That’s the bottom line.”

Transactions:
Blaine Boyer granted free agency on April 13, 2011.
Toronto Blue Jays claimed Aaron Laffey of the New York Mets on waivers on April 13, 2013.
1962 | On a wintry day, the Mets play their first home game ever when only 12,000 fans show up at the Polo Grounds to see the return of National League baseball to the Big Apple. On Friday the 13th, the Pirates score the decisive run on two eighth-inning wild pitches thrown by Ray Diavault, beating the New York expansion team, 4-3. |
1983 | The Phillies, trailing by five runs entering the final frame, beat the Mets, 10-9, when Bo Diaz hits a walk-off bases-loaded home run. The Philadelphia catcher's 'ultimate grand slam', a home run which wins a game when a team is down by three runs in the bottom of the final inning, is tossed by Neil Allen, who faces only the final batter. |
2012 | Josh Thole's bizarre base running blunder leads to a very odd double play in the second inning of the Mets' 5-2 victory at Citizens Bank Park. After successfully reaching second base on R.A. Dickey's sacrifice bunt, the 25 year-old Mets' catcher shocks everyone, including the Philadelphia defense, by trying to return to first base, where he is tagged out to complete the unusual 3-1-6-4 twin killing. |
2009: San Diego beats the Mets, 6 - 5, in the first game to be played at Citi Field in New York. The first batter of the game, Jody Gerut, hits a home run off Mike Pelfrey as the Padres jump to an early 5 - 1 lead. New York ties it on a three-run home run by David Wright, but the winning run scores when Luis Rodríguez reaches on a three-base error by RF Ryan Church and crosses the plate when Pedro Feliciano commits a balk.
2013 - Matt Harvey takes a no-hitter into the 7th inning, until the Twins' Justin Morneau hits a homer that clanks against the right field foul pole at Target Field with two outs. Harvey has the longest outing of his career, giving up only two hits in 8 innings in the Mets' 4 - 2 win. The Mets have seven consecutive hits in the 5th to score all their runs.
2017 - In the longest game yet played at Marlins Park, the Mets defeat Miami, 9 - 8, on a homer by Travis d'Arnaud in the 16th inning. Mets starter Robert Gsellman gives up 8 runs in 4 2/3 innings, but seven relievers combine to pitch 10 1/3 scoreless innings. Yoenis Cespedes hits a pair of homers, while d'Arnaud has four hits, including a bases-loaded triple and his game-winning homer off Adam Conley, who had been scheduled to start the next day. For the Marlins, Marcell Ozuna hits a grand slam in the 1st.
