Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig's latest stop on his ballpark farewell tour turned testy over his unyielding support of the New York Mets' ownership.
Wilmer Flores homered twice and drove in six runs for the second time this year, Ruben Tejada capped a four-run fourth inning with a two-run double, and the New York Mets routed the Miami Marlins 9-1.
The Mets denied making any official alterations to their logo, but that didn't stop fans from reacting harshly once the team reverted to its original avatar.
The rookie whiffed eight consecutive Miami Marlins to begin the game at Citi Field, matching the mark set by Jim Deshaies of the Houston Astros against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sept. 23, 1986.
Mets manager Terry Collins could hardly contain his excitement, saying the club tried to keep Harvey at about 80 percent effort, and the All-Star still looked "very, very good."
Jacob deGrom struck out his first eight batters to match a major league record before the Miami Marlins finally started making contact Monday night and rallied late for a 6-5 victory over the New York Mets.
Dillon Gee has now made over 100 starts for the Mets, something only 22 other pitchers have done in club history.
Assuming nothing drastic happens over the final two weeks of the season -- such as deGrom allowing eight runs in consecutive starts -- the right-hander should edge the speedy Hamilton.
The Nationals won with Jordan Zimmermann on the mound for a ninth straight start, getting a two-run homer from Wilson Ramos in the seventh inning of a 3-0 victory over the Mets Sunday.
Bryce Harper homered, Ian Desmond drove in three runs and the Washington Nationals moved a step closer to their second NL East title in three years with a 10-3 victory over the New York Mets on Saturday night.
Juan Lagares hit a go-ahead double and the New York Mets made it stand up, ending a 12-game home skid against Washington.
Backman, the manager of the Triple-A Las Vegas 51s, will join the big club's coaching staff on September 19 and stay with the team through the end of the season.
As far as anyone knows, Mets brass have yet to consider the possibility. But here it is, anyway. Unloading David Wright in the offseason, once unthinkable, might not be a bad idea.
Adam LaRoche and Anthony Rendon had two-run homers off Bartolo Colon, who was ejected after hitting the following batter both times.
"Everything is healthy. I think I'll probably get one or two more bullpens. We haven't been on radar guns, (but) everything feels normal."
The lawsuit claims the club recognized and rewarded former VP of ticket sales Leigh Castergine until she learned she was pregnant in August 2013.
Rafael Montero earned his first major league win, Eric Young Jr. went 3 for 3 with an RBI triple and the suddenly surging New York Mets beat the Colorado Rockies 2-0.
Leigh Castergine, the former Mets' head of marketing and ticket sales who was let go last month, is claiming that she was unfairly terminated.
The Mets, who have been one of the weakest-hitting teams in the sport during that time, have messed with the outfield set-up twice before.
General manager Sandy Alderson, though, defended Wright's performance in a down year: "David did what captains do. He persevered, he gutted it out."
Jacob deGrom burnished his rookie of the year credentials by pitching three-hit ball for eight dominant innings, and the New York Mets held on to beat the Colorado Rockies 2-0 Tuesday night.
Mets third baseman David Wright is out for the remainder of the season, after undergoing an MRI showing persistent inflammation in his left rotator cuff.
"It's gonna be prohibitive, but improving a team isn't always a function of just dollars spent," general manager Sandy Alderson said.
The general manager dishes on Wilmer Flores' potential, why Noah Syndergaard wasn't called up, what to do with Dilson Herrera when Daniel Murphy returns and much, much more.
Curtis Granderson hit a tying triple off former-Met LaTroy Hawkins and scored two pitches later on Wilmer Flores' sacrifice fly, giving New York a 3-2 win Monday night.
