Post: Mets will need a special finish to catch surging Braves. “The Mets’
hopes for a late surge will hinge largely on what occurs over the next 19
games. There’s a three-game series against the Giants to survive beginning
Tuesday at Citi Field, before the Mets play 16 straight against the Nationals
and Marlins, two teams long removed from the postseason chase and whom the
Braves beat up on for the first six wins in the nine-game win streak they
carried into Monday.”

New York Mets signed free agent Kelly Stinnett on August 24, 2006.
2005 | After fouling off three Jose Valverde full-count fastballs, Mike Jacobs goes deep at BOB to become the only player to hit four home runs during the first four games of a major league career. The Mets rookie, who hits two round-trippers in the 18-4 rout of the Diamondbacks, has homered four times, including his first big-league at-bat, in his first 13 plate appearances. |
2013 | For the first time in history, the All-Star Game starters face each other in the same regular season when Mets right-hander Matt Harvey and the Tigers' Max Scherzer are opposing pitchers in Detroit's 3-0 victory over the Amazins' at Citi Field, the site of this year's Midsummer Classic. The historic matchup ends with the New York starter, who gives up 13 hits in 6.2 innings, going on the DL for season-ending surgery, and his opponent becoming just the third pitcher to start a season with a 19-1 record, joining Rube Marquard (1912 Giants) and Roger Clemens (2001 Yankees). |
2015 | In a 15-7 victory over the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, the Mets set franchise marks with eight home runs and 14 extra-base hits, including David Wright's second-inning blast in his first plate appearance since going on the DL in April due to a bad back. Wilmer Flores (2), Yoenis Cespedes, Juan Lagares, Travis d'Arnaud, Daniel Murphy and Michael Cuddyer also contribute to the team's new round-tripper record. |

Quiet day.
Yanks did beat Braves. With Lindor and Baez back, miracle run?
Ant word on Syndergaard ETA? Sept 1 only 8 days away.
Any.
Tom - this weekend the Mets stated that Thor would have one more bullpen session and then pitch in a rehab game later in the week. I am thinking Brooklyn as they are home this week.
The Braves don’t even have Acuna. They’ll come back to earth, but the Ets need to start rolling or it won’t matter.
