That pitching matchup lived up to its billing.  Both were great.  De Grom gave up more runners, and was bailed out on a base running mistake, but that was a heck of a performance.

Sleepy Mets Can’t Find any Offense Against Stephen Strasburg, Nationals in Lifeless 4-0 Loss in Home Opener

(vs. REDS, 5/02)

 

Noah Syndergaard became the first pitcher in 36 years to hit a home run and throw a shutout, in a 1-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds.

The last pitcher to homer in a 1-0 complete-game shutout win was the late Bob Welch of the Los Angeles Dodgers,  in a 1-0 win over ........ the Cincinnati Reds. )  )

Welch's gem occurred on June 17, of 1983.

 

Syndergaard is only the 7th pitcher to accomplish the feat since 1920 (the end of the dead-ball era.)

 

Mets' Noah Syndergaard Makes History with Homer, 1-0 Shutout of Reds

[O's are Legends]

Mets swept by the Marlins getting a total of 3 hits during the weekend.

The Cano trade is a disaster as is their ownership, agent GM and manager.

Cespedes injures himself apparently on his ranch. Mets are playing at home; maybe he should have been with the team.

Cano doesn't run out double plays but that's nothing new. Ramos is off to a horrible start. Frazier is done. Their pitching hasn't been as good as it should.

For a team that their agent GM dubbed, the team to beat in the NL east, they are the circus show of MLB.

Quite the implosion by Diaz in the bottom of the 9th.

(vs. CUBS, 6/22)

 

 

Pete Alonso broke a tie with Cody Bellinger for the most home runs before the All Star Break by a National League player with his 26th Round Tripper of the season this afternoon.

Bellinger hit 25 Home Runs prior to the All-Star break in his Rookie season of 2017.

Mark McGwire holds the Major League record from when he swatted 33 Home Runs before the All-Star break in his Rookie season of 1987.

(vs. NATIONALS, 8/09)

 

The Mets' record when trailing after 8 innings was 0-44 ........ now, it's 1-44. 

Michael Conforto had never had a walk-off hit in his Major League career (2015 - Present, 533 Games Played, 2,076 Plate appearances)  ........ he nailed a ball over Adam Eaton's head for his first one ever tonight.

The Very Next Day ........

 

With the Mets trailing by a score of 3-2 in the bottom of the 8th inning, Luis Guillorme the very first Major League run of his career to tie the game. 

The Mets tacked on the go-ahead run later that inning on a Sac-Fly, and went on to win for the 15th time in their last 16 games ........ their best 16-game run in almost 3 decades, since the 1990 team went 15-1 over a 16-game stretch between June 12th and June 29th of that season.

What the Mets have been doing without Cano and a very poor bullpen has been impressive.  They have moved ahead of MacPhail’s Phillies.

[Aglets]

The Mets were 40-51 just one short month ago.  Not exactly world-beating.

Since then they have absolutely torn apart such powerhouse teams as the White Sox, Pirates, Marlins, and Padres.

Not convinced they are 'for real' yet.
