Mets Games Played On This Date: June 27th

Carlos Delgado sets Mets record of 9 RBIs in one game, Mets get the "HR Cycle" against the Cubs in 2012, and Jim Fregosi's 3 run HR wins it in 1972.  

1 Year ago today: 2021; Game #74; Sunday, Jun 27; NYM 2 PHI 4;  boxscore;  WP: Wheeler; LP: Stroman; Save: Bradley; Time: 3:21; DAY; Attendance: 25,488;  

Francisco Lindor SS 2 for 4, 2 doubles, 1 run scored, 1 K; Pete Alonso 1B 3 for 4, 1 RBI; Kevin Pillar CF 1 for 3, HR, 1 RBI, 1 run scored, 1 walk, 2 Ks;  Marcus Stroman (L.6-6) 3 innings, 4 runs, 2 earned, 5 hits, 3 walks, 3 Ks;  Corey Oswalt 4 innings, no runs, 4 hits, 4 Ks; Drew Smith2 innings, no runs, 1 hit, 1 K.  

Marcus Stroman gave up 4 runs - 2 earned in 3 innings on 5 hits, 3 walks, 3 Ks.  Luis Guillorme made an error in the 2nd and Jeff McNeil in the 3rd which allowed for the 2 unearned runs.  Zack Wheeler (W,6-4) threw 7 shutout innings allowing just 4 hits, 2 walks and 8Ks.

NY Post: Mets close homestand with thud in sloppy loss to Phillies. “Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso combined for five of the team’s seven hits, as the Mets were held to two runs or fewer for the ninth time in 13 games as MLB’s 30th-ranked team in scoring. Over that stretch the Mets are 5-8, but have lost only one game in the NL East standings. The Mets lead the Nationals by four games.”

Mets.com: Mets expect cold bats to be 'scorching' soon. “Even for a first-place team, such offensive figures are hard to ignore. Eight weeks after their firing of hitting coach Chili Davis, the Mets have posted nearly identical statistics under his replacement, Hugh Quattlebaum. Some of that has been due to the fact that they’ve played long stretches without multiple key offensive pieces. But the rest has been because nearly every member of the starting lineup has underperformed compared to previous career norms.”

Mets.com: Stat of the day: “Corey Oswalt delivered four shutout innings in relief on Sunday, matching his effort from an August 25 game against the Marlins last summer. He became the first pitcher to provide multiple scoreless relief appearances of at least four innings in his Mets career since Darren Oliver accomplished it four times during the 2006 season.”

10 Years ago today: 2012; Game #76; Wednesday;  Jun 27, NYM 17 @ CHC 1 boxscore;  WP: Niese;  LP: Samardzija;  Save: Time: 02:47; DAY; Attendance: 35,837

Baseball Reference: 2012: The Mets erupt for an uncharacteristic offensive outburst, crushing the Cubs, 17 - 1, their most runs in two years. They hit four homers, two by Daniel Murphy, a grand slam by Scott Hairston and a three-run shot by Ike Davis. With David Wright driving in 5 runs, those four players combine for all 17 RBI. Jon Niese is the beneficiary of all that offense, while Jeff Samardzija is charged with the loss. YouTube Video:

The first baseman, who breaks Dave Kingman's 1976 club mark, also surpasses Sky King on the all-time home run list with the first of his two homers, moving into 34th place with his 443rd career round-tripper.

6/27/2008 Carlos Delgado sets a Mets franchise record when he drives in 9 runs in a game against the Yankees.

National Pastime.com: Anthony Young sets a major league record when he drops his 24th straight decision, a 5-3 Mets loss to St. Louis at Shea Stadium. The hard-luck New York right-hander, who surpasses the mark established by Boston Dove hurler Cliff Curtis in 1911, will extend the dubious streak to 27 consecutive defeats before winning a game. (Ed. Note - Sadly, AY will die on this date in 2017 at the age of 51, losing his battle to brain cancer. - LP)
