Baseball Reference:Another trade almost gets consumed, as the Mets are on the verge of trading IF Wilmer Flores and P Zack Wheeler to Milwaukee for OF Carlos Gomez. The rumor of the deal sweeps through the stands at Citi Field, and Flores breaks into tears on the field as he does not want to leave a team that has grown into a contender. The trade falls through, however, and the Mets lose, 7 - 3, to San Diego in spite of three homers by Lucas Duda

NY Post: Duda belts 3 HRs but Colon clubbed as Mets fall to Padres. "Duda on Wednesday enjoyed what would be a good month for some as he continued his recent home-run barrage with three solo shots — giving him six homers in four games...Colon, who has a 6.16 ERA in his last seven starts, gave up two runs in each of the first three innings."





Nationals beat the Marlins 7-2 to move back to 2 games ahead of the Mets.
