1969

After being swept in a three-game series by Houston at the Astrodome, the eventual World Champion Mets fall ten games behind the front-running Cubs in the first-ever NL East race. The third-place New York team will finish the season at a torrid 39-11 pace, finishing the season eight games in front of Chicago.

2003

After missing nearly three months with a groin injury, Mike Piazza makes a dramatic return to the New York lineup when he homers and drives in five runs on Italian Night at Shea Stadium. The backstop's 3-for-5 performance, including a home run in the third inning, RBI single in the fourth, and a two-run single in the seventh, contributes to the Mets' 9-2 victory over the Giants.

 

 

Baseball Reference:

1970 - The Reds' Jim Merritt strikes out 13 Mets en route to a 5 - 1 win in Cincinnati. 

2002:  Warring Mets co-owners Fred Wilpon and Nelson Doubleday finally complete their deal to transfer full ownership of the team to Wilpon within the next 30 days. But Doubleday will question the valuation of the team by the independent arbitrator, and the transaction will not be resolved until the fall.

2010: R.A. Dickey baffles the Phillies with his knuckleball, throwing a complete game one-hitter, for the Mets' second shutout in two nights, and their fourth consecutive shutout of the Phillies at Citi Field, dating back to a three-game sweep in May. The only hit is by opposing pitcher Cole Hamels. The Mets' run scores with two outs in the 6th, on consecutive doubles by David Wright and Carlos Beltran.

In the Pete Alonso vs. Dom Smith at first base debate, Pete did something Dom couldn't - he leaped and caught Villar's errant throw to turn the DP. That ball sails over Dom's glove.

If you missed what Mariano Duncan is saying about Ronny Mauricio - don't. Effusive praise.

I am going to be annoyingly persistent here. Pete just missed 2 HRs the last 2 days. His walk off homer barely made it. Villar's 2 run HR barely made it. Many times of the year, NONE of those balls make it. Just 8 of Pete's 25 HRs are at home. So...

...MOVE THE FENCES IN AGAIN.

To help Stroman hydrate, have a coach handing him a water bottle on the bench. Remember back in Seaver's time, a lot more hot day games - and a lot more complete games. I guess they hydrated just fine.

But...great OF catch by Dom, though.

I actually remember Matlock having a problem with dehydration one game.

Tom - you see Juan Soto's Citi Field numbers that I included yesterday? He says the fences are just fine.
