Brian Joura Mets360: Kodai Senga became the first Mets’ starter to pitch seven innings, as he combined with two pitchers on a five-hit shutout, leading the Mets to an 8-0 victory Sunday afternoon in Sacramento. It’s the third shutout of the year for the Mets, who are now 10-5 and in first place in the N.L. East.
Mike Puma NY Post: Kodai Senga delivers shutout outing as Mets bats earn A’s series. "Senga, who threw 79 pitches, allowed four hits over seven shutout innings with four strikeouts and two walks, retiring 11 of the final 12 batters he faced. Senga’s final two batters, Seth Brown and Gio Urshela, each struck out."
Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: Kodai Senga shuts out A’s over seven innings in Mets’ 8-0 win. "The Mets (10-5) needed Senga to go deep, and he delivered. A team dinner was held after the Mets arrived in Sacramento, and with the starting rotation sitting together, they discussed their desire to give the team more length in their outings. Until Sunday, only David Peterson had pitched more than five innings, tossing six twice."
Tim Healey Newsday: Mets blank Athletics as Kodai Senga goes seven strong innings. "Severino was effective but not as efficient, needing 28 pitches in the first frame and 27 in the fourth. In 5 2⁄3 innings, he limited the Mets to a lone run plus four hits and three walks."
Mets.com: Red-hot Torrens keys Mets' late outburst "In Sunday’s 8-0 win over the Athletics, Torrens continued to hold things down in Alvarez’s absence. He went 3-for-4 with an RBI double, a walk and the biggest hit of the ballgame: A two-out RBI single to break a scoreless tie in the sixth inning."
Mike Puma NY Post: Luis Torrens is providing spark for Mets in Francisco Alvarez’ absence. "Torrens, who is serving as the primary catcher with Francisco Alvarez on the injured list, owns a .333/.375/.567 slash line with one homer and five RBIs in 11 games this season."
Mike Puma NY Post: Mets don’t rule out IL possibility for Jose Siri after suffering foul ball off shin. "The Mets outfielder fouled a pitch off the shin, and although a subsequent X-ray was negative, a day later, Siri was still having trouble putting weight on the leg, according to manager Carlos Mendoza."

By contrast Soto still looks a bit out of synch. Hit a couple of balls hard today but notable that he's hitting the ball on ground at highest % of his career (54.8 %), and significantly higher than last yr. The beauty of Soto, of course, is .409 OB even when not hitting much. https://t.co/jpgwRtT8DD

Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com:
Born on this date:
- Mark Bomback (1953)
- Kyle Farnsworth (1976)
- Samuel Taveras (1989) DSL Coach
- Jacob Barnes (1990)
- Zak Whalin (2005)
Died on this date:
- Tommy Holmes (2008)
Transactions:
New York Mets sold Duke Snider to the San Francisco Giants on April 14, 1964.
New York Mets released Grant Roberts on April 14, 2005.
1976 | On the north side of Chicago, Dave Kingman launches a homer down the left field line that hits a house 530 feet from home plate. The Cubs, as well as the home, survive the right-fielder's blast, defeating the Mets in the Wrigley Field contest, 6-5. |
2001 | The Reds beat Al Leiter and the Mets, 1-0, to set the modern National League mark for not being shut out by an opponent, scoring in their 175th consecutive game. Ironically, the record-breaking contest comes against the last team and pitcher to blank the franchise, a 5-0 defeat at Cinergy Field in a playoff game to determine the NL Wild Card. |
2006 | At the Mets Team Store beginning today through the April 17 tax deadline, fans can have their taxes done for free by Gilman Ciocia. The Shea TAX-TEAM will also prepare an automatic extension for those who are not ready to file. |
1968: At the Astrodome, New York Mets pitcher Nolan Ryan earns the first of his 324 major league victories. The 21-year-old right-hander hurls six and two-thirds innings of three-hit, shutout baseball to lead the Mets over the Houston Astros, 4 - 0. Danny Frisella takes the save in 2 1/3 innings of relief. Tommie Agee goes 2 for 3 with two runs and Art Shamsky 2 for 3 with two RBI. Larry Dierker is the losing pitcher.
1976 - In the 6th inning of today's 6 - 5 loss to Chicago, the Mets' Dave Kingman hits what will become widely regarded as the longest home run ever hit in Wrigley Field, estimated at 600 feet in many of the next day's press accounts, with the putative "paper of record" going as high as 630. Some cold water is applied to these claims by longtime Cubs' broadcaster Jack Brickhouse, speaking in 1982 with Paul Susman of Baseball Digest: "Brickhouse revealed that the ball was greatly helped by a strong wind of about 35 miles per hour. Brickhouse estimated Kingman's blast in reality went about 500 feet." To be fair to Kingman, the Cubs' own scoresheet for this game estimates "530 to 550 feet," which in conjunction with researcher Bill Jenkinson's assertion of 530 feet as the distance between home plate and the point of obstruction, would suggest a typo or simple misreading as the culprit in the inflated Times estimate.
1999: John Franco strikes out the side in the 9th inning of the New York Mets' 4 - 1 win over the Florida Marlins, becoming the second relief pitcher in major league history to reach 400 career saves.
2011: The Rockies complete a four-game sweep of the Mets by taking both ends of a doubleheader at Citi Field, 5 - 4 and 9 - 4. Troy Tulowitzki leads Colorado's offense by homering in all four games and going 10 for 16 with 8 RBI in the series.
