1 Year ago today: 2021 Game #60;Tuesday, Jun 15; NYM 3 CHC 2; boxscore;  WP: Walker; LP: Mills; Save: Lugo; Time: 3:05; NIGHT; Attendance: 17,804;

Jonathan Villar 3B 2 for 4, double, 1 run scored, 1 walk; Francisco Lindor SS 1 for 2, 1 run scored, 2 walks; Dominic Smith LF 1 for 3, double, 1 run scored, 1 walk, 2 Ks; Pete Alonso 1B 1 for 3, 3 RBIs; Taijuan Walker (W, 6-2) 7 innings, 2 runs – both earned, 5 hits, 1 HR, 12 Ks; Seth Lugo 2 innings, no runs, 2 hits, 1 walk, 3 Ks.  

NY Post: Taijuan Walker dominates as Mets hold off Cubs. "He continued his stout season with his best performance yet on Tuesday night, limiting the Cubs to two runs over seven dominant innings as the Mets won 3-2, in front of 17,804 at Citi Field for their seventh win in nine games....Seth Lugo worked the final two innings for his first save of the year...Lugo nearly blew it, but pinch-runner Jake Marisnick was thrown out at the plate on a terrific relay throw by second baseman Luis Guillorme."

NY Post: Bruce, Arroyo lead Reds to 7-3 win over Mets. Jay Bruce hit an inside-the-park homer that left Jason Bay with yet another injury and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Mets 7-3 on Friday night to give Bronson Arroyo his first victory in 5½ weeks...The right-hander entered 7-2 with a 2.81 ERA and three complete games in his previous 12 starts against the Mets — with five other outings that lasted eight innings.

NY Post: Payback's a pitch, Mets get revenge on Clemens with Bats. "Two years after the Rocket drilled Met catcher Mike Piazza, the Mets evened the score by taking the Yankee pitcher long with their bats...In the third inning, Clemens strode confidently to the plate to face Estes’ first pitch. The crowd stood and watched as Estes fired the ball inches behind Clemens. Clemens made a face, the umpire warned both benches and the Yankee pitcher ended his first at-bat of the game by striking out...Piazza...knocked a solo shot in the sixth...pitcher Shawn Estes, smacked a two-run homer over the wall in the fifth, running the bases for his third home run ever."

Baseball Reference: The Mets snap the Blue Jays' 11-game winning streak with a two-run rally in the bottom of the 11th that gives them a 4 - 3 win. Jose Bautista homers twice for Toronto, including a game-tying shot in the top of the 9th, and the Jays take the lead on Dioner Navarro's sacrifice fly in the 11th, but RBI singles by Lucas Duda and Wilmer Flores in the bottom of the inning give the game to the Mets. You Tube Link:
