Mets Games Played On This Date: June 16th

 

The Mets and Dave Mlicki beat the Yanks in the first Interleague Subway Series game, Mo Vaughn's late 3 run HR beats Yanks in 2002, and deGrom K's 8 out of 9 batters but leaves game after 3 innings in 2021.  Just some of the games the Mets have played on June 16th.

NY Post: A new Jacob deGrom injury worry emerges in Mets’ bummer. "After firing three perfect innings against the Cubs on Wednesday with eight strikeouts, the right-hander entered the dugout in discomfort and headed for the tunnel with the trainer, finished with what the Mets termed right shoulder soreness."

Mets.com: 'Frustrating': deGrom exits with sore shoulder. Mets defeat Cubs after ace strikes out 8 of 9 in 3 innings before departing.

NY Post: Mets lose to Reds 4-1. Homer Bailey pitched out of trouble for eight innings, Jay Bruce hit a three-run homer and the Cincinnati Reds beat the New York Mets 4-1 on Saturday night for their fifth straight victory...New York starter Jonathon Niese (4-3) made one big mistake to Bruce during seven otherwise effective innings. He struck out seven and walked one but lost for the first time in six starts at home this season...Consecutive doubles by Daniel Murphy and Wright put the Mets on the board in the bottom of the first"

NY Post: Vaughn-derful Finish. "If Mo Vaughn had ever hit a bigger home run in his life before last night, he had never done it in New York...the largest crowd to ever watch a Subway Series game at Shea Stadium (55,141)...Vaughn’s three-run missile to right field in the eighth inning off Yankee lefty David Wells catapulted the Mets to a 3-2 victory. It may have turned around an entire season and/or one man’s career."

A complete game for David Cone (W,6-4) who allowed 2 runs on 3 hits with 8 Ks.  Dave Magadan drove in 2 with a single as part of a 3 run 5th which broke a 2-2 tie.  Future Mets minor League Coach Jonathan Hurst took the loss for the Expos.

Down 1-0 in the 7th, Willie Mays singled home Duffy Dyer to tie it.  In the 9th, after Bud Harrelson tripled, Tommie Agee was intentionally walked to bring up Willie Mays.  Gary Nolan then uncorked a Wild Pitch that brought home Harrelson with the go ahead and eventual winning run.

NY Post: Michael Conforto, Steven Matz propel Mets to a rare victory. "Conforto drove in four runs, tying a career high, helping the Mets win for only the second time in June...Conforto, who entered batting just .167 against lefties, hit a three-run homer in the second inning against Corbin and added an RBI double in the sixth...Matz, whose scheduled start on Thursday was pushed back two days because of a blister on his middle finger, allowed only one earned run on six hits and one walk over the 6 ²/₃ innings."

NY Post: On a day Wright underwent surgery to correct a herniated disk in his neck that likely will end his season, the Mets received 7 ²/₃ strong innings from Bartolo Colon and hit three home runs to sink the slumping Pirates. Colon (6-3) took a shutout into the eighth before surrendering two runs...Curtis Granderson, Walker and Michael Conforto all homered, leading an 11-hit attack." Link to YouTube Highlights.

Baseball Reference: Seemingly asleep for 8 innings, the Mets suddenly wake up in the bottom of the 9th as Carlos Marmol is trying to protect a 3 - 0 lead for the Cubs. Marlon Byrd starts off the inning with a solo homer, Lucas Duda draws a walk and John Buck singles. Omar Quintanilla bunts both runners into scoring position before Kirk Nieuwenhuis, hitting .097 for the season, connects for a walk-off three-run homer. Marmol is only pitching because closer Kevin Gregg, who has been perfect in 10 save opportunities so far, is unavailable after pitching in the Cubbies' last four games.

Baseball Reference: The Braves beat the Mets, 9 - 8, on an anticlimactic play in the 10th inning. After rallying from two runs down in the bottom of the 9th on Brooks Conrad's two-run homer off closer Francisco Rodriguez, the Braves take advantage of a balk by reliever D.J. Carrasco that allows Diory Hernandez to score the winning run. Before coming back, the Braves blow a 6 - 2 lead by giving up a four-run 5th inning to the Mets. Chipper Jones drives in 5 runs, tying a career best.

Baseball Reference: The Mets continue their roller-coaster season, winning their 6th in a row with an 8 - 4 decision over Cleveland. All nine Mets starters collect at least one hit and either score or drive in a run. Shelley Duncan, making a rare start in LF for the Indians, helps out with some poor defensive play but does atone himself somewhat with a two-run homer off winner Jon Niese.
