Mets Links: 

Nationals 5 Mets 2 (Box Score) Jose Peraza 3B/2B 0 for 4, 2 Ks; Francisco Lindor SS 1 for 4; James McCann C 1 for 4, 2 Ks; Pete Alonso 1B 1 for 4, HR, 1 run scored, 1 RBI; Kevin Pillar RF 1 for 2, HR, 1 RBI, 1 walk, 1 K; Taijuan Walker 6.1 innings, 4 runs – all earned, 10 hits, 2 HRs, 5 Ks; Familia 2/3 innings, 1 run – earned, 2 hits, 1 HR, 2 Ks; Drew Smith 1 inning, no runs, 1 hit, 1 K;

Mike Puma NY Post: Kyle Schwarber’s three home runs torment Mets in loss to Nationals. “The momentum of their previous week, when they beat up on the Padres and Cubs — two legitimate playoff contenders — has dissipated and now the Mets have to figure out how to survive a steady diet of NL East competition.”

MLB.com: Schwarber ties MLB record: 5 HR in 2 games.

Tim Healey Newsday: “Walker gave up four runs and 10 hits in 6 1/3 innings, with Schwarber doing most of that damage. It could have been worse if not for the Nats’ 1-for-9 effort with runners in scoring position against Walker, who struck out five and walked none.”

Brain Joura Mets360: “Walker left with the Mets trailing, 3-2. But Jeury Familia came on and gave up Schwarber’s third homer of the game. Remember when all the hits off Familia were bleeders? Good times, good times. Familia has now given up 8 ER in his last 11.2 IP.”

NY Post: Schwarber’s third home run was off a slider from Jeurys Familia. The Mets never considered an intentional walk with first base open and Trea Turner on deck. “The ball ran back over the middle and a guy swinging the bat like that, he didn’t miss it,” manager Luis Rojas said. “Familia is a high-leverage pitcher. He’s gotten a lot of big outs.”

Metstradamus: “The Mets now need to pick up and dust off, as there are two teams closer to them in the standings, and the Mets get a chance at them this week at home. Jacob deGrom will hopefully start tomorrow, Joey Lucchesi’s MRI hopefully will reveal nothing more than normal wear and tear, and hopefully some professional hitters return to the lineup soon so the Mets can start rocking and rolling again.”








SNY.TV: “What’s Next…The Mets start off a new series with the Atlanta Braves at Citi Field on Monday with a makeup doubleheader at 5:10 p.m. Jacob deGrom is expected to go for New York, unless the team makes the call to skip him in the rotation. There hasn’t been a starter announced for the second game just yet.”

SNY.TV: Mets Injury Tracker: Jeff McNeil expected to be activated Monday.

NY Post: “Brandon Nimmo, who has missed nearly two months after tearing a ligament in his left hand that was originally thought to be nerve damage, began a minor league rehab assignment Sunday for Triple-A Syracuse, going 1-for-2. Michael Conforto played in that same game and could be within days of rejoining the Mets after a strained right hamstring cost him the last month.”


Amazing Avenue: Mets call up Jerad Eickhoff, designate Mason Williams for assignment. “Eickhoff…after a nice stretch of three consecutive quality starts in late May, he’s been lit up in two starts thus far in June, allowing 12 earned runs in just 11 innings of work against Buffalo and Worcester. In total, he has a 5.32 ERA in 44.0 innings with Syracuse on the season…Williams…hit .212/.297/.333 with one home run in 37 plate appearances for the Mets.”

Mets.com: Stat of the Day: Homer-happy Mets – “Over their last 45 innings dating to Wednesday, the Mets have scored 10 times, with nine of those runs coming on homers. The only exception was a Francisco Lindor RBI single on Saturday.”

NY Post: Mets owner Steve Cohen addresses MLB trade deadline, Jacob deGrom contract.

964

Despite the four errors made by the Phillies, Rick Wise wins the first of his 188 major league victories when Philadelphia beats the Mets at Shea Stadium in the nightcap of a twin bill, 8-2. The 18 year-old rookie right-hander's accomplishment receives little fanfare when his effort follows Jim Bunning's perfect game in the opener.

1964

On an unseasonably warm Father's Day, Phillies' hurler Jim Bunning becomes the first modern pitcher to toss a no-hitter in both leagues when he throws a perfect game to beat the Mets, 6-0. Gus Triandos also becomes the first catcher to handle a no-hitter in both leagues.

2006

Jose Reyes becomes the ninth player in Mets history to hit for the cycle. The 23 year-old shortstop hits a leadoff homer in the first, followed by a double in the third, then a triple in the fifth, and completes the feat with an eighth-inning single in the team's 5-4 loss to the Reds at Shea Stadium.

Baseball Reference:

1963 - The Mets beat the Phillies, 3-1; only pitchers Al Jackson and Cal McLish get multiple hits. The next game where the only multi-hit players are the opposing starters will be 50 years later, August 4, 2013.

2000:  The New York Mets announce that SS Rey Ordonez will be out for the season because his broken left forearm is not healing properly.

Good to see Luke Ritter go on a tear.

Megill looks pretty solid in that video clip…MLB stuff.

Nice to see Nimmo and Conforto hitting.

Carlos Cortes replacing the expensive Conforto in RF next year? 23 XBH in 37 games.

I was glad to see Schwarber do what he did - it reminds me that our hitters can do better. Schwarber in 2 games has as many HRs as Dom in 11 weeks.

Schwarber hit all his homers on fastballs and theey kept throwing fastballs to him. Why? Also, why did they throw him a strike after the second HR Saturday? I like Luis Rojas but that was not the best strategy.

I like Luke Ritter "the Hitter" a lot. Another fine infielder in the system.

Mets are willing to take on salary. We will see if they make a move. They need to have a big homestand against the Braves and Phillies. They are still an all or nothing, try to hit HRs offense when the ball has been deadened since last year. They have improved on defense this year but they still need to learn to play small ball.

If you want them to take on salary at the all star break you might want them to lose the 🦁share of the next two series.
