"Pinch-hitter Carlos Ruiz came through with a tying homer in the seventh inning, Jimmy Rollins added a three-run shot and the Philadelphia Phillies busted loose late to beat the Mets 10-6..Shane Victorino drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the eighth and Philadelphia bailed out winless Cliff Lee to take two of three in the series."

Lucas Duda homered twice for the Mets, 2 run shot to give them a bref lead in the 6th and in the 9th after Philly had built a large lead.

Year: 1962; Game #40; Wednesday;  May 30 (1), NYM 6  Vs. LAD 13 boxscore;  WP: Koufax LP: Hook Save: Time: 03:19; DAY; 

National Pastime.comFrank Thomas strokes a double off Sandy Koufax in the Mets' 13-6 loss to Los Angeles, extending his franchise mark of consecutive games with a hit to 18 for the expansion team. The streak, which will be only one shy of Maury Wills' league-leading total for the season, is halted when the New York left fielder goes 0-for-4 in the nightcap of the Dodgers' sweep at the Polo Grounds.

Year: 1962; Game #41; Wednesday;  May 30 (2), NYM 5  Vs. LAD boxscore;  WP: Sherry LP: Anderson Save: Time: 02:44; DAY; Attendance: 55,704

National Pastime.comThe Mets complete their first-ever triple play when shortstop Elio Chacon snags Willie Davis's liner and flips the ball to Charlie Neal to double off Maury Wills at second, with the third out coming on a ball thrown to Gil Hodges to catch Jim Gilliam off first base. New York will be the victim of the only other triple killing this season when Joe Pignatano, in his final major league at-bat, pops out to Cubs second baseman Ken Hubbs, who starts a 4-3-6 play in the eighth in the season finale played a Wrigley Field. 

Here is the full list of Mets games played on May 30th.

Year: 2019; Game #56; Thursday;  May 30, NYM 0 @ LAD; 2; boxscore;    WP: Ryu;  LP: Vargas;  Save: Jansen;  Time: 02:47; NIGHT; Attendance: 47,848

Year: 2018; Game #53; Wednesday;  May 30, NYM 4 @ ATL 1 boxscore;  WP: Vargas;  LP: Teheran;  Save: Gsellman;  Time: 02:42; NIGHT; Attendance: 21,449

NY Post: Jason Vargas finally comes up big as Mets gain split with Braves. "After the Mets finished with a four-game series split, Vargas, whose ERA dropped from 10.62 to 8.53 with five shutout innings in which he allowed two hits and one walk...Adrian Gonzalez’s run-scoring single in the eighth — his second RBI in the game — gave the Mets breathing room after Johan Camargo had blasted a solo homer the previous inning that sliced the Mets’ lead to 2-1. In the ninth, Brandon Nimmo slammed an RBI double that gave the Mets a fourth run.



Year: 2017; Game #50; Tuesday;  May 30, NYM 5  Vs. MIL 4 boxscore 12 innings   WP: Smoker;  LP: Peralta;  Save: Time: 04:24; NIGHT; Attendance: 24,457

NY Post: Mets bail out Asdrubal Cabrera with 12-inning win over Brewers. "Asdrubal Cabrera should have raced from the dugout and kissed Jay Bruce after the Mets outfielder reached first base to conclude Tuesday night’s game. Exonerated was Cabrera, whose misplayed pop-up five innings earlier had nearly sunk the Mets. Instead, there was Bruce delivering a walk-off RBI single against the Brewers in the 12th inning that gave the Mets a third straight victory and fourth in five games, 5-4 at Citi Field."



Year: 2016; Game #50; Monday;  May 30, NYM 1  Vs. CHW 0 boxscore;  WP: Harvey;  LP: Quintana;  Save: Familia;  Time: 02:34; DAY; Attendance: 38,339

NY Post: Matt Harvey looks like his old self in dominating White Sox. "Harvey peaked at 98 mph on the stadium radar — his zenith for the season — and maintained his velocity throughout, surrendering only two hits and a walk, with six strikeouts in his longest outing of 2016....He smacked his glove in satisfaction and left to a chant of “Har-vey” this time, after retiring J.B. Shuck for the final out in the seventh with two runners on. Neil Walker’s homer leading off the bottom of the inning put Harvey (4-7) in position for the victory and Jeurys Familia, after two ugly performances, worked a perfect ninth for the save following Addison Reed’s scoreless eighth."

National Pastime.comThe Mets become the first team to have three players appear in a game whose last name begins with a lower case letter d, when Travis d'Arnaud, Jacob deGrom, and Matt den Dekker all play in the Mets' 6-5 walk-off loss to Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park. After using an upside-down capital 'P' on d'Arnaud's jersey, equipment manager Kevin Kierst, asked Majestic, MLB's uniform supplier, to make 'small' letters available knowing there be even more of a need this season.

Baseball Reference2013The Mets complete a four-game sweep of the Yankees with a 3 - 1 win behind the pitching of Dillon Gee, who strikes out a career-high 12 batters in 7 1/3 innings. It is the first time the Mets have ever swept a Subway Series against the Bronx Bombers, as those are the only four games the two teams will play against each other this year.
