Mets Links: 

Blue Jays 10 Mets 3 (Box Score) Brandon Nimmo CF 2 for 4, 1 run scored, 1 RBI, 1 walk; Pete Alonso 1B 2 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 walk, 1 K; James McCann C 2 for 4, 1 K; Taijuan Walker (L, 7-4) 4 innings, six runs – all earned, 8 hits, 3 HRs, 2 walks, 1 K; Drew Smith 2 innings, 1 run – earned, 3 hits, 1 HR, 2 Ks; Anthony Banda 1 inning, 3 runs – all earned, 5 hits, 1 HR; 

Brian Joura Mets360: “The Mets brought a knife to a gun fight, producing 12 singles and two doubles on a night where the Blue Jays hit five homers. The result was a 10-3 beatdown, in the middle game of a three-game series at Citi Field.”

NY Post: “The Mets’ bats were not powerful enough, and the Blue Jays blasted five dingers of their own — three off Taijuan Walker, who struggled severely for a second straight outing — in a 10-3 Mets loss in front of 29,269 at Citi Field on Saturday.”

Metstradamus: “It was always unfair to expect Taijuan Walker to be superhuman all season. He gave up dingers to George Springer and Teoscar Hernandez in the 3rd to give the Jays a 3-0 lead, and they were hit pretty hard.”

Steve Serby NY Post: Mets’ fun-loving attitude even pays off on a bad night like this. “The chicken-or-the egg debate: Have the Mets been winning because they’re having fun, or are they having fun because they’re winning?... It is clear that there is a one-happy-family camaraderie on these Mets, fostered to a large degree by the force of Pete Alonso’s Polar Bear personality and Home Run Derby bat.”  

NY Post: Mets’ David Peterson breaks foot in ‘freak’ injury while on IL. “The Mets starter, who already was out until at least mid-August with an oblique strain, felt a pop in his foot while walking Friday, manager Luis Rojas said. Peterson will require surgery after sustaining a Jones fracture of the fifth metatarsal on his right foot.”















Mike Vaccaro NY Post: Mets, Yankees bullpens equally bad lately. What’s worse: Losing a game you once led 6-0 on a walk-off grand slam (as the Mets did in Pittsburgh last Saturday), or losing a game you led 3-1 with one out to go when a relief pitcher, an inning later, ties a major league record with four — four! — wild pitches?

NY Post: Rich Hill set to make first start as a Met. 

Blue Jays (49-45) @ Mets (51-44), 1:10 pm; NYM: Rich Hill (#0, 41, LHP, 6-4, 3.87); TOR: Ross Stripling (#48, 31, RHP, 3-6, 5.04)

Transactions:

New York Mets traded Terrence Long and Leo Vasquez to the Oakland Athletics for Kenny Rogers on July 25, 1999.

National Pastime.com: 

1967
The White Sox become the second major league team in history to win a doubleheader with two walk-off homers when they sweep the Indians, 3-1 and 6-5, thanks to game-ending home runs by J.C. Martin and Ken Berry. In 1962, the Mets were the first team to accomplish the feat, with Hobie Landrith and Gil Hodges going deep, respectively, in the bottom of the ninth inning of each game to give the team its first twin bill sweep in franchise history.
1978
Pete Rose's third inning Shea Stadium single to left off Mets righty Craig Swan establishes a National League record for hits in consecutive games. The Reds infielder has hit safely in 38 games, breaking Tommy Holmes' mark set as a member of the Boston Braves in 1945.

1990
After having a commanding 9-0 lead, and still ahead 10-3 entering the bottom of the ninth inning, the Mets barely hold on to beat the Phillies at Veterans Stadium, 10-9. The nail biter causes the usually even mannered Bob Murphy to use a mild obscenity in his call of the final out, "they win the damn thing by a score of 10 to 9!"



1994
Rico Brogna, who was recalled from the Norfolk Tides five days ago where he was hitting .351, becomes the third Mets rookie to get five hits in a game, joining Dick Smith (1964) and John Milner (1972). The 24 year-old slick-fielding first baseman collects three singles and two doubles in five at-bats during New York's 7-2 victory over St. Louis at Busch Stadium.

Baseball Reference:

1978: The Reds lose to the Mets, 9 - 2, but Pete Rose collects three hits to break Tommy Holmes' record for the longest hitting streak in National League annals. Holmes is in attendance at Shea Stadium and shakes Rose's hand after his 3rd-inning single off Craig Swan.

2001: The Mets leave a club-record 16 runners on base, but still beat the Marlins, 5 - 2, pinning the loss on Ryan Dempster. Glendon Rusch is the winner. Lenny Harris ties Smoky Burgess for 2nd place on the all-time pinch hit list when he doubles.
