Mets Games Played On This Date: June 2nd


RA Dickey follows Johan's No-No with a shutout, Mets blow a lead but come back to win in 2021 and Dave Magadan a 1989 Walk-off HR. 

1 Year ago today:

Mets 7 Arizona Diamondbacks 6 (Box Score): Jonathan Villar 3B 2 for 4, double, 2 runs scored; Francisco Lindor SS 3 for 5, 2 runs scored; James McCann C 3 for 5, HR, 2 runs scored; Pete Alonso 1B 2 for 5, 1 run scored, 1 RBI, David Peterson 1/3 inning, 3 hits, 5 runs – all earned, 3 walks, 1 HR; Robert Gsellman 3.2 innings, 2 hits, no runs, 1 K; Miguel Castro (W, 2-1), 2 innings, no runs, no hits, 1 K; Edwin Diaz (S, 10) 1 inning, no runs, no hits, 1 K; 

Brian Joura Mets360: “For the second straight game, the Mets blew a 4-0 lead. But unlike Tuesday night, Wednesday’s game had a happy ending, as Pete Alonso drove home the winning run in the ninth inning, as the Mets beat the Diamondbacks, 7-6, to take the rubber game of the three-game series in Arizona.” (subscription required)

Mets.com: Stat of the Day: 6 straight hits to open game. “The Mets opened the game with six consecutive hits, marking the second time in franchise history that they had done so, per the Elias Sports Bureau. The first time occurred on June 25, 1979, against the Pirates. This time, the six hits came from Jonathan Villar, Francisco Lindor, James McCann, Pete Alonso, Kevin Pillar and Dominic Smith. Five of the six were singles, while McCann's was a three-run homer.”

NY Post: “Wednesday it was Lindor’s third hit of the afternoon that put his team in position to win a game that was hanging in the balance. Lindor singled in the ninth, advanced to second on center-fielder Ketel Marte’s error, took third on a passed ball and scored the go-ahead run on Pete Alonso’s single…”

NY Post: ‘Sick to my stomach’: Kevin Pillar’s parents relive horrifying moment.

NY Post: R.A. Dickey followed up Johan Santana’s no-hitter by shutting out St. Louis, David Wright homered and the New York Mets beat the Cardinals 5-0 on Saturday. Dickey (8-1) gave up seven hits, struck out nine and walked none in his third career shutout — first this season. The Mets scored three runs in the second, on a mishandled grounder and two run-scoring groundouts to win for the sixth time in eight games.

20 Years ago today: 2002; Game #56; Sunday;  June 2, NYM 3 @ FLA 7  boxscore;  WP: Tavarez;  LP: Leiter;  Save: Núñez;  Time: 03:08; DAY; Attendance: 19,405

NY Post: Leiter Flounders as Marlins thump Mets. Three starts ago, Al Leiter owned a 5-2 record and a 1.74 ERA, the best in baseball. Now he is a .500 pitcher on a team hovering dangerously close to .500...the 36-year-old lefty, who was tagged for seven earned runs over 42/3 innings and saw his ERA increase to 3.39 in a 7-3 loss to the Marlins. 

30 Years ago today: 1992; Game #51; Tuesday;  June 2, NYM 4  Vs. SFG 3  boxscore;  WP: Whitehurst;  LP: Wilson;  Save: Franco;  Time: 03:10; NIGHT; Attendance: 22,887

Eddie Murray's Grand Slam gave the Mets a 4-0 lead and they held on for the win.  Wally Whitehurst (W,1-2) 2.2 innings of scoreless relief after starter Anthony Young gave up 2 in 3.1 innings.

A three run 3rd inning and 2 run HR from Bob Watson was all that Phil Neikro needed to beat the Mets and Pete Falcone.  Bob Bailor was the only Met to drive in a run with a bases loaded walk in the 9th.

Jay Hook only lasted 1/3 of an inning to start the double header as the Giants scored 5 in the 1st and 3 more in the second to put Game One out of reach early.

In Game Two, with the score tied at 4, Craig Anderson gave up a 2-run HR to Harvey Kuenn in the 8th and the Giants win the game 6-4 sweeping the double header.

Here is the full list of Mets games played on June 2nd.

Year: 2021; Game #49 Wednesday, Jun 2; NYM 7 @ ARI 6; boxscore; WP: Castro; LP: Soria; Save: Diaz; Time: 3:12; DAY; Attendance: 9,810;

Baseball Reference: Jacob deGrom matches a career high set just two weeks earlier by racking up 13 strikeouts in 7 innings in a start against the Cubs, but the NL ERA leader has to settle for another no-decision as the game is decided in 14 innings. Seven relievers add another 11 strikeouts to give the Mets 24, 2 shy of the all-time mark for an extra-inning game, but it's the Cubs who break through with 6 runs in the top of the 14th, highlighted by Albert Almora's two-run double off Buddy Baumann, to win, 7 - 1. Luke Farrell pitches 5 scoreless innings in relief to pick up the win.

Baseball Reference: The Pirates take an early 7 - 0 lead against Mike Pelfrey and the Mets, but New York rallies for 9 straight runs. The Mets score 3 on Carlos Beltran's three-run blast in the 3rd, add a four-run inning in the 6th to even the score against Paul Maholm, then win it in the 8th with 2 more runs. Mets manager Terry Collins does some fancy maneuverings in the 8th, sending pitcher Chris Capuano to pinch-hit with pinch-runner Willie Harris on first, hoping for a sacrifice bunt; when losing P Jose Veras balks the runner over, Collins calls Capuano back, and sends in Josh Thole to finish the at-bat. In the end, four walks and a wild pitch in the inning sink the Bucs, who lose, 9 - 8, in what is the Mets' biggest comeback in 11 years.

Year: 2010; Game #54; Wednesday;  June 2, NYM 1 @ SDP 5 boxscore 11 innings   WP: Webb;  LP: Valdés;  Save: Time: 03:48; DAY; Attendance: 15,880

Baseball Reference: In San Diego, Adrian Gonzalez hits a walk-off grand slam in the 11th inning to lead the Padres to a 5 - 1 win over the Mets. San Diego's David Eckstein had tied the game at 1 with a single with two outs in the bottom of the 9th against Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez, after 8 scoreless innings by Johan Santana.
