Tampa Bay Devil Rays claimed Brian Rose of the New York Mets on waivers on April 24, 2001.

1962

Commissioner Ford Frick fines Casey Stengel $500 for appearing in uniform for a beer advertisement, which shows the Mets manager ready to bunt. Kathy Kersh, who is holding the ball in the Rheingold ad, will later become better known as Cornelia, one of the Joker's women in the 1960's Batman television series.

1965

Casey Stengel wins his 3,000th game as a manager when his Amazin' Mets score three runs in the top of the ninth inning to beat the Giants at Candlestick Park, 7-6. The 'Old Perfessor,' who served as the skipper for the Dodgers, Braves, and Yankees, won more than a third of his games (1,149) during his 12-year tenure with the Bronx Bombers.

2012

For the first time in major league history, four different pitchers combine to walk four consecutive batters when the Marlins hurlers load the bases and then force in a run in a 2-1 loss against the Mets. Josh Johnson walks Lucas Duda, then Randy Choate issues a free pass to Justin Turner, followed by Steve Cishek's base-on-balls to Scott Hairston, and finally, Mike Dunn forces home Josh Thole with the tying run with the last of the only walks given up by the Miami staff in the Citi Field contest.

 

Baseball Reference:

2015: The Yankees snap the Mets' franchise record-tying 11-game winning streak with a 6 -1 win. Jacob deGrom allows three homers, two by Mark Teixeira and the other by Jacoby Ellsbury to be tagged with the loss. Michael Pineda is the winner.

What a thrill that deGrom did not go up against Max Scherzer again, which he seems to do in every start against the Nats.

0.31 ERA - wow. Cy Young...likely. MVP - possibly.

Nimmo a long HR and JUST missed another - 4 hits - freaky good.

Jake .545, Nido .100 - understandable why Jake should hit 8th. Jake is best Mets' pitcher as hitter since Mike Hampton, who could easily have been an every day player had he not pitched.

Now, can Stroman keep pace in the Cy Young race with a win today?

Think we will also see Carrasco back as soon as the Mets need a 5th starter.
