2014 YEAR IN REVIEWAPRIL NOTES

WRIGHT OPENINGS: David Wright made his 10th Opening Day start, the third-highest total in franchise history...Only Bud

Harrelson (11) and Tom Seaver (11) have started more Opening Days…Wright has had at least one hit in every home opener

since making his first Opening Day roster in 2005.

27, 2009 vs. Colorado (Franklin Morales).

ONE OTHER TIME: The Mets’ only other pinch-hit walk-off grand slam came on June 10, 1986 by Tim Teufel against

Philadelphia (Tom Hume)…Prior to Davis, the last major leaguer to hit a walk-off, pinch-hit grand slam was Houston’s Brian

Bogusevic against Carlos Marmol and Chicago-NL on August 16, 2011.

TRAILING: Davis’ grand slam came with the Mets trailing, 3-2…It was the third time in franchise history the club got a walk-

off grand slam when trailing and first since Kevin McReynolds on June 25, 1991...The other occurrence was June 26, 1963

when Tim Harkness belted a grand slam in the 14th inning to knock off the Cubs, 8-6.

REPLAY: The Mets won their first replay challenge of the season when umpires overturned a call at second base in the

ninth inning on April 5 vs. Cincinnati…Juan Lagares was originally ruled out on a force play but was then called safe after a

two-minute, 14-second video review.

OLD SHUTOUT: The Mets shut out the Braves, 4-0, on April 8...It was the third time in major league history a team combined

to throw a shutout using three (or more) pitchers who were each 36 years old or older (Bartolo Colon, Kyle Farnsworth and

Jose Valverde)...The other instances: the Diamondbacks in 2002 (Randy Johnson, Greg Swindell, Mike Fetters) and the

Mets on June 12, 2003 in Texas (Al Leiter, Graeme Lloyd and John Franco)...It was also only the second time in Mets history

that they shut out an opponent that was playing its first home game of a season...The Mets also did that in 1981, with a 2-0

win at Wrigley Field.

EYJ: Eric Young, Jr. scored a career-high four runs on April 10 at Atlanta, equaled his career-high with three stolen bases

and also tied his career-best with three hits...Young, Jr. became the first player in team history to score four or more runs,

collect three or more hits and steal three or more bases in the same game...The last Met to score four runs in a game prior

to Young was Ronny Paulino on June 29, 2011 at Detroit.

WALK-OFF HBP: Jeurys Familia hit Hank Conger with a pitch with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 11th inning to give

the Angels a 5-4 win on April 11...The last time the Mets suffered a walk-off loss by forcing in the game-ending run with a hit-

by-pitch was on June 5, 2008 when Scott Schoeneweis hit San Diego’s Paul McAnulty with the bases loaded in the bottom

of the ninth in a 2-1 loss.

LUCKY 13: Anthony Recker’s solo home run in the 13th inning lifted the Mets to a 7-6 win on April 12 at Los Angeles-

AL...Recker is one of only six Mets in team history to hit two or more home runs in the 13th inning or later...The others are

Howard Johnson (3), Kevin McReynolds (2), Tim Harkness (2), Carlos Beltran (2) and Dave Kingman (2)...Recker became

the first catcher in franchise history to drive in a go-ahead run in the seventh inning or later followed by the game-winning

RBI in extra innings...Two other Mets in the last decade have accomplished this feat, Justin Turner on June 22, 2011 vs.

Oakland and Nick Evans on September 6, 2011 at Florida.

Page 2: 2014 YEAR IN REVIEW - MLB.commlb.mlb.com/documents/4/7/8/100704478/2014_Mets_Year_in...Philadelphia (Tom Hume)…Prior to Davis, the last major leaguer to hit a walk-off, pinch-hit

APRIL 13: Bartolo Colon surrendered back-to-back-to-back home runs (Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and Raul Ibanez) on April

13 at Los Angeles-AL...It was the first time a Mets pitcher allowed three consecutive home runs since Johan Santana at

Yankee Stadium on June 8, 2012...Colon finished the day allowing four home runs, equaling his career-high...The Mets

allowed 11 extra-base hits on April 13, tied for the second-most in a game in team history.

SERIES IN ANAHEIM: New York’s staff surrendered five home runs on April 13 and 10 home runs during the three-game

series at Los Angeles-AL...It was the third time in team history the Mets allowed 10 or more home runs in a three-game

series and first since July 2-4, 1999 vs. Atlanta when they also surrendered 10 long balls.

KIRK NIEUWENHUIS: Went 3-5 with a home run, three RBI and a run scored on April 15 at Arizona...The last Met to have

at least three hits, a home run and three RBI in his season debut was Carlos Beltran, who went 3-5 with a home run and

three RBI at Cincinnati on April 4, 2005.

ONE HIT: The Mets were held to one hit on April 18 vs. Atlanta, the 35th time in franchise history the team has been one-hit

and the first time since September 9, 2013 vs. Washington...David Wright singled in the eighth-inning for the only Mets hit

of the night....Wright was the first Mets player to break up a no-hitter in the eighth inning or later since Luis Lopez collected

the Mets’ first hit off Curt Schilling in the eighth inning on September 16, 1997.

GRAND ENDING: Curtis Granderson collected his third career game-ending RBI on April 20 vs. Atlanta with a sacrifice fly

in the 14th inning and his first since a walk-off single on June 12, 2006 with Detroit…It was the second-longest game in

team history the Mets won with a walk-off sacrifice fly...New York had a 15-inning win against the San Diego Padres on

September 3, 1983, with game-ending run coming on a sacrifice fly from Brian Giles...The Mets also became the first team

since 1967 to win a game of 14 or more innings without an extra-base hit and while going 0 for 10 (or worse) with runners

in scoring position...The only other team to do that during the Mets’ existence was the Orioles, in a 14-inning, 1–0 win at

Comiskey Park on July 3, 1967; Brooks Robinson’s sacrifice fly provided the only run.

LONG TIME, FIRST TIME: The Mets edged the Braves, 4-3 in 14 innings on April 20...The game marked the Mets’ longest

win by innings in Citi Field history…The Mets had two 13-inning wins, last on July 1 of last season against Arizona.

WHAT AN ENDING: On April 23, Kirk Nieuwenhuis thew out the potential tying run at home plate in the ninth inning to pre-

serve a 3-2 win over St. Louis...The last time a Mets outfielder threw out the potential tying run at home in the ninth inning

or later was May 23, 2003 at Atlanta when Tsuyoshi Shinjo ended the game by throwing out Chipper Jones at the plate.

GRAND ENDING II: Curtis Granderson delivered his second walk-off RBI of the year on April 25 vs. Miami with an RBI

single...He had a game-winning sacrifice fly in the 14th-inning on April 20 vs. Atlanta...Granderson became the first Met in

team history to have two separate walk-off RBI in the same April.

APRIL WALK-OFFS: The Mets had three walk-offs in April, tied for the third-most by the end of April in team history...New

York also had three walk-offs in 2012, 2008 and 1996...The Mets had a team record four walk-off wins in April, 1985 and

four in 1998 (one in March and three in April).

STARTERS: The Mets went 11 games (April 14-25) without a starting pitcher allowing a home run, tying their longest streak

over the last 23 seasons...Before that they last went 11 straight games without a home run from their starters, August 7-17,

1991...Mets starters opened the year with 26 straight starts of 5.0 or more innings, the longest streak to start a season in

team history, topping the 1978 mark of 20.

JENRRY MEJIA: Went 3-0 in his first four starts...Since 1990, the only Mets pitcher under 25 to win his first three decisions

of a season was Matt Harvey, who started 2013, 5-0...Jenrry Mejia (3-0, 1.99 ERA, 25 strikeouts in 22.2 innings) is the fourth

Mets pitcher younger than 25 to have an ERA under 2.00 and average a strikeout per inning over his first four starts of a

season...The others to do that were Nolan Ryan (1968 and 1970), Sid Fernandez (1985) and Matt Harvey (2013).

YOUNG IN APRIL: Eric Young, Jr. scored 20 runs in April...Over the last 10 years, only two other Mets have scored 20 runs

or more in March/April: Ryan Church scored 21 in 2008 and Jose Reyes scored 26 runs in 2007 and 21 runs in 2006...Young’s

streak of 20 consecutive games reaching base safely was the longest by a Mets player starting in the leadoff spot since

Jose Reyes had a 33-game streak (a team record) in 2008...Young’s 12 stolen bases were the second-highest through the

end of April in Mets history...Jose Reyes entered May with 17 steals in 2007.

ENTERING MAY: The Mets became the second team in modern major league history (1900 to date) to enter May averaging

at least four runs per game despite a batting average under .220 in at least 20 games. (The Mets averaged 4.1 runs per

game with a .21995 batting average...The other team to do that: The White Sox in 1988 (4.4 runs per game, .219 batting

average) going 11-10 in April...The Mets had nine come-from-behind wins in April, their most in one month since May 2009

(nine)...The Mets won 15 games in April, one shy of the club record for wins in April (16-10 in 2002 and 16-8 in 2006).

MAY NOTES

RUNNING MAN: Daniel Murphy stole 28 consecutive bases from June 9, 2013-April 29, 2014, the second-longest streak in

team history...He was caught on May 2 at Colorado to end the streak...Kevin McReynolds went 33 straight from 1987-1989.

JUAN LAGARES: Hit in 13 straight games from April 5-May 4, the longest by a Mets player in his first or second season in

the major leagues since David Wright had a 15-game hitting streak in July 2005...Lagares hit .339 (19-56) during the streak.

SCORELESS: The Mets were held scoreless over 23.0 innings from May 5-May 9.

1,600: David Wright collected his 1,600th career hit with his sixth-inning RBI double on May 10 vs. Philadelphia.

Page 3: 2014 YEAR IN REVIEW - MLB.commlb.mlb.com/documents/4/7/8/100704478/2014_Mets_Year_in...Philadelphia (Tom Hume)…Prior to Davis, the last major leaguer to hit a walk-off, pinch-hit

WALK-OFF TO END A LOSING STREAK: Ruben Tejada singled to score Chris Young in the 11th inning on May 11 to give

the Mets a 5-4 win over the Phillies…New York’s win was the third in team history after trailing by three or more runs in the

ninth inning or later to end a losing streak of five or more games...The 1962 Mets ended a 13-game losing streak in the

second game of a doubleheader against the Pirates at the Polo Grounds on August 21, 1962, when Marv Throneberry

capped a four-run ninth inning with a three-run walk-off home run off Roy Face...The Mets snapped a five-game losing streak

with a 6–4 win over the Pirates at Shea Stadium on May 19, 1993...Bobby Bonilla won that game with a two-run walk-off

homer in the 10th inning after the Mets had tied the game with three runs in the ninth.

COMEBACK: New York’s win on May 11 vs. Phillies was its first when trailing by three or more runs entering the ninth since

September 18, 2013 vs. San Francisco…The Mets trailed 4-1 and scored four runs in the ninth to win, 5-4.

CONSECUTIVE COMEBACKS: The Mets rallied from a three-run deficit on May 12 at Yankee Stadium (trailed 4-1 after the

2nd and 7-4 after the 6th) to win after overcoming a three-run deficit on May 11 vs. Philadelphia (trailed 4-1 heading to the

bottom of the ninth and won 5-4 in 11)...The last time the Mets won consecutive games after overcoming a deficit of three

or more runs in both was May 23-24, 2006 vs. Philadelphia...The Mets won 9-8 in 16 innings on May 23 after trailing by four

and then rallied to beat the Phillies, 5-4 after trailing by three runs the next night.

FOUR HOME RUNS: The Mets hit four home runs on May 12 at Yankee Stadium (Travis d’Arnaud, Curtis Granderson, Eric

Young, Jr. and Chris Young)...The Mets tied a team record (done five previous times) by hitting a home run in four consecutive

innings on May 12 and they had home runs from three outfielders (Curtis Granderson, Eric Young, Jr. and Chris Young) for

the first time since August 6, 2004, when Cliff Floyd, Mike Cameron and Richard Hidalgo all hit home runs.

WIN STREAK VS. YANKS: The Mets won a franchise-high six straight games vs. the Yankees, May 27, 2013-May 13,

2014...The streak is the longest by a NL team in the regular season vs. the Yankees...It is the second-longest by either team

in the rivalry...The Yankees won seven consecutive games from June 30, 2002-June 29, 2003.

GRAND HR NOTE: Curtis Granderson hit home runs in consecutive games in the Bronx (May 12-13) to become only the

third former Yankee to hit a home run in each of his first two games against them after immediately leaving the team...The

only other two players to do that were Woodie Held in 1957 and Raul Ibanez in 2013.

RAFAEL MONTERO: Became the first Mets starter to make his major league debut against the Yankees on May 14 at Citi

Field.

STARTING DEBUTS: Rafael Montero made his major league debut on May 14 vs. the Yankees and Jacob deGrom made

his major league debut on May 15 vs. the Yankees...It was the first time in team history the Mets had starters make their

debuts in consecutive games...The Mets became the first New York team to have a player make his major league debut as

a starting pitcher in consecutive games since Roger Craig and Don Bessent did that for the Dodgers in 1955...No major

league team had its starting pitchers make major league debuts in consecutive games as early in a season since the Athletics

had Alan Wirth and John Henry Johnson pitch Oakland’s third and fourth games of the 1978 season.

BOTH DEBUTS: Jacob deGrom and Chase Whitley became the fourth pair of starting pitchers since 1902 to make their

major league debut in the same game in June or earlier, when they faced off against each other on May 15 at Citi Field...The

other instances: April 9, 2009–Rick Porcello (Tigers) against Ricky Romero (Blue Jays); April 14, 1962–Gaylord Perry (Giants)

vs. Sammy Ellis (Reds); and April 25, 1939–Dizzy Trout (Tigers) vs. Jack Kramer (Browns)...The Mets’ only other game in

which each starting pitcher was making his big league debut was on September 7, 2010 against Washington (Dillon Gee vs.

Yunesky Maya)...The last major league team who had starting pitchers make their MLB debut in consecutive games was

the Brewers on September 2-3, 2002 (Ben Diggins in Game Two of a doubleheader and Dave Pember)...The last time it

happened before rosters expanded in September was August 20 (Game Two of a doubleheader) and August 21, 2001 when

Carlos Zambrano and Juan Cruz did it for the Chicago Cubs.

deGROM DEBUTS: Jacob deGrom went 7.0 innings and allowed one run, earned, with six strikeouts on May 15 vs. the

Yankees in his major league debut…The 7.0 innings was the longest outing by a Mets pitcher in his debut since 1982, when

Brent Gaff tossed 7.2 innings in a 3-2 loss to San Francisco...Only two other Mets pitchers who threw at least 7.0 innings in

their debut took a loss…Bill Pulsipher allowed seven runs in 7.0 innings in a 7-3 defeat to Houston on June 17, 1995…Gaff

went 7.2 innings and allowed three unearned runs to lose 3-2 to San Francisco on July 7, 1982…The last major league

pitcher to lose his debut after tossing at least 7.0 innings and allowing one run was Jimmy Haynes for Baltimore on September

13, 1995...DeGrom was the first Mets pitcher to lose his major league debut by a 1-0 score.

deGROM AT THE PLATE: Mets pitchers were 0-64 at the plate before Jacob deGrom singled in his first major league

at-bat on May 15 vs. the Yankees...The hitless streak was the longest in major league history by a pitching staff to start a

season...The 1914 St. Louis Browns held the previous mark (0-45)...The last Mets player to get a hit in his first major league

at-bat was also a pitcher…Matt Harvey went 2-2 on July 26, 2012 in Arizona.

WHAT A GAME: According to the Fielding Bible, Juan Lagares became the first player in the majors in 2014 to hit a home

run and rob a home run in the same game when he slugged a two-run shot in the third inning and robbed Jayson Werth of

a home run in the sixth inning on May 17 at Washington.

SOUP’S ON: Eric Campbell became the second player in team history who had either a hit or an RBI (or both) in each of

his first eight games in the major leagues...Jason Tyner also accomplished the feat in his first eight games in 2000.

TOUGH LUCK: Jacob deGrom took the loss in his first two career starts despite collecting a quality start in each (7.0 innings,

one run on May 15 and 6.0 innings, three runs on May 21)… Since the Mets joined the National League in 1962, nine players

have started their major league careers with two consecutive quality starts and two losses; three of them played for the Mets

(deGrom, Ron Darling in 1983 and Bill Denehy in 1967)…The last major leaguer to do it was Detroit’s Andy Oliver in 2010.

RAFAEL MONTERO: Struck out 10 batters in the first game of the May 25 doubleheader vs. Arizona over 6.0 innings...He

became the fourth Mets pitcher to strike out 10 or more in one of his first three career games...The last to do so was Matt

Harvey, who had 11 in his major league debut on July 26, 2012 in Arizona...Dick Selma (1965) and Dennis Ribant (1964)

also accomplished the feat.

Page 4: 2014 YEAR IN REVIEW - MLB.commlb.mlb.com/documents/4/7/8/100704478/2014_Mets_Year_in...Philadelphia (Tom Hume)…Prior to Davis, the last major leaguer to hit a walk-off, pinch-hit

MEJIA MANIA: Jenrry Mejia pitched in both ends of the May 25 doubleheader vs. Arizona...He allowed an unearned run to

suffer the loss in the first game before closing out the Mets’ 4-2 win in the second for his third save...The last Mets pitcher

to have a loss and a save in a doubleheader was Jesse Orosco on August 19, 1984 at San Francisco.

SUNDAY DH: The May 25 doubleheader was the Mets’ first Sunday doubleheader (either single or separate admission) at

Citi Field...Their last Sunday doubleheader in New York was on September 7, 2008...The Mets have played 113 Sunday

doubleheaders (of either variety) in team history, and all but nine of them were played in 1990 or earlier.

BARTOLO COLON: Recorded his 2,000th career strikeout (Ike Davis) on May 28 vs. Pittsburgh...Colon became the 11th

pitcher born outside the United States to reach 2,000 strikeouts in the major leagues, and he was the third Dominican to

reach that milestone, joining Pedro Martinez (3,154) and Juan Marichal (2,303)...Colon also became the fourth active pitcher

to reach the 2,000 strikeout plateau, joining CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Ryan Dempster.

MULTI-INNING SAVES: Jenrry Mejia got six outs for the save on May 27 vs. Pittsburgh and Jeurys Familia worked the final

1.2 innings on May 28 vs. Pittsburgh for his first save of the year…This was the first time the Mets had consecutive saves

of five outs or more since September 26-27, 2005, when Roberto Hernandez and Aaron Heilman each went 2.0 innings to

close out the Phillies in Philadelphia...No other major league team had saves of five or more outs in consecutive games

from pitchers younger than 25 years old since Kent Mercker and Mike Stanton did so for the Braves in July 1991.

SERIES IN PHILLY: For the first time in team history the Mets played games on five consecutive days in one city other than

New York when they played the Phillies, May 29-June 2.

15 K, 0 BB: Zack Wheeler (nine strikeouts), Vic Black (three) and Jenrry Mejia (three) combined for 15 strikeouts and did

not issue a walk on May 29 at Philadelphia...It was only the fourth time in Mets history that their pitchers recorded at least

15 strikeouts in a game in which they did not issue a walk...The previous three instances were all 16-strikeout complete

games: two by Dwight Gooden, in consecutive starts in 1984 (September 12 vs. Pittsburgh and September 17 at

Philadelphia), and one by Sid Fernandez in 1989 (July 14 at Atlanta).

deGROM at dePLATE: Jacob deGrom become the first pitcher in team history with a hit in each of his first three games…

Dillon Gee and Walt Terrell had one in each of their first two before going hitless in their third…DeGrom had four hits in his

first three starts…That is the most hits for a Mets pitcher in his first three starts in franchise history.

BOBBY ABREU: Swiped his 400th career stolen base on May 30 at Philadelphia...He became only the sixth player in major

league history to swipe 400 or more bases and hit 250 or more home runs (288), joining Joe Morgan, Rickey

Henderson, Bobby Bonds, Barry Bonds and Craig Biggio.

SWING & MISS: The Mets struck out 19 times on May 30 at Philadelphia, tied for the fourth-most in team history.

JACOB deGROM: Pitched 6.0 or more innings, allowed three runs or less and five hits or less in each of his first four major

league starts...That combination is tied for the third-longest streak to begin a major league career since 1914...Jered Weaver

began his career with seven such starts in 2006 and Michael Pineda had five such starts in 2011...Only one other pitcher

began his Mets career with four straight starts allowing five hits or less and pitching 6.0 or more innings: Pedro Martinez in

2005, who also went four straight starts.

EXTRA-INNING NOTES: The Mets won 5-4 in 14 innings on May 31 at Philadelphia after losing 6-5 in 14 innings on May

30 at Philly...It was only the second time the Mets have played consecutive 14+ inning games in one season...The other

time was September 7-8, 1979 vs. Pittsburgh at Shea...The Mets lost, 6-4, in 14 innings on September 7 and won, 3-2, in

15 innings on September 8...It marked the third time since 1980 that two teams played 14 or more innings in back-to-back

time the Mets played consecutive 5+ hour games in franchise history.

WRIGHT ON TIME: David Wright drove in the game-winning run in the 14th inning on May 31 with an RBI single...It matched

the latest in a game Wright has collected a go-ahead hit (also May 5, 2006 vs. Atlanta at Shea).

MAY HITS: David Wright (41 hits) and Daniel Murphy (36 hits) finished second and tied for third respectively in the NL in

May...Yasiel Puig led the NL with 43...Wright’s .320 batting average was the second-highest in the NL in May (minimum 120

plate appearances).

JUNE NOTES

in which the Mets played at least 25 total games...New York also had eight home games in May, 2000.

THREE STRAIGHT: The Mets and Phillies became the first teams to play three consecutive games (May 30-June 1) of 11.0

IT HAPPENED AGAIN: Lucas Duda hit a two-run home run in the 11th inning on June 1 at Philadelphia..It was his first

extra-inning home run of his career...Duda had been hitless in his last 16 extra-inning at-bats...It was the longest extra-inning

hitless streak by a Met since Vance Wilson went 17 consecutive at-bats without a hit in extras from 2001-2004...Wilson, like

Duda, snapped that hitless streak with a home run at Citizens Bank Park, June 1, 2004, 10 years to the day of Duda's blast.

WILMER FLORES: Hit his first career grand slam on June 2 off Philadelphia’s Phillippe Aumont and drove in a career-best

six RBI...The last six-RBI game by a Met was by Carlos Beltran, May 12, 2011 at Colorado...Flores became the third Mets

shortstop in team history to have six or more RBI in a game...Jerry Buchek drove in six runs including a two-run walk-off

home run on September 22, 1967 vs. Houston at Shea and Dick Schofield had six RBI on July 19, 1992 vs. San Francisco.

ROOKIE RBI: Wilmer Flores finished with six RBI on June 2 at Philadelphia tied for the second-most in team history by a

PHILLY RECAP: The Mets took four of five from the Phillies during their five-game series (May 29-June 2)...The two clubs

played 57 innings in 20 hours, 36 minutes...Since 1912, only one five-game series has lasted more than 57 innings: a

58-inning series between the Yankees and Tigers in 1962...The only other five-game series to span 57 innings was played

by the Pirates at Chicago in June, 1916.

JACOB deGROM: Became the first player in team history to pitch 5.0 or more innings and allow five or fewer hits in each

of his first five major league games (May 15-June 5)...Seattle’s James Paxton is the last major leaguer to accomplish that

feat (September 7, 2013-April 2, 2014)...The last to do it in a single-season was Seattle’s Michael Pineda (April 5-28,

2011)...He was also the fifth pitcher in major league history to begin his career with a streak of four (or more) consecutive

winless starts despite pitching at least 6.0 innings and allowing no more than three runs in each game...The others are Mike

Harkey (five, 1988 Cubs); Fred Anderson (four, 1909-13 Red Sox); Ron Darling (four, 1983 Mets); and Chuck Smith (four,

2000 Marlins).

SKID: New York lost a season-high six in a row (June 3-8)...It was the longest losing streak since the club lost six straight

from May 10-15, 2013.

GRAND IN SAN FRAN: Curtis Granderson hit two home runs on June 8 at San Francisco...It was the 15th multi-home run

game of his career and first since October 3, 2012 with the Yankees vs. Boston...Granderson also added a double...He had

three extra-base hits in a game three previous times, last on April 19, 2012 with the Yankees vs. the Twins.

TAYLOR TEAGARDEN: Hit a two-out, opposite-field grand slam on June 10 off Milwaukee’s Marco Estrada...It was

Teagarden’s second career slam...He also had a grand slam on September 15, 2008 for Texas off Detroit’s Gary Glover...

Teagarden became the second player to hit a grand slam in his first game with the Mets; Collin Cowgill was the first, in the

2013 season opener...Teagarden is the first player in Mets history whose first hit for the team was a grand slam.

LATE NIGHT STRUGGLES: Mets allowed four runs in the 13th inning on June 12 in a 5-1 loss vs. Milwaukee...The last

time the team allowed four or more runs in one inning in the 13th inning or later was September 24, 1992 at St. Louis, when

the Cardinals won, 4–3, with a four-run rally in the bottom of the 14th inning after Jeff Kent’s three-run homer in the top of

the 14th broke a scoreless tie.

EIGHT IS ENOUGH: Daisuke Matsuzaka allowed no more than four hits in a franchise-record eight straight starts (September

8, 2013-June 15, 2014)...Surpassed Sid Fernandez (1988) and Nolan Ryan (1970-1971) who each had seven straight starts.

COLON AT THE PLATE: Bartolo Colon collected his first career extra-base hit on June 18 at St. Louis when he doubled in

the sixth-inning...Prior to Colon, the last major league player whose first career extra-base hit came at the age of 41 or older

was the Pirates' Diomedes Olivo, who was 43 years old when he connected for his first extra-base hit, a double, on April 23,

1962 vs. the Mets (in the first victory in franchise history for New York)...Colon snapped a 0-44 skid with his hit...He later

scored on Eric Young, Jr.’s RBI double..It was Colon’s second run scored in the majors...The only other time he scored a

run was on August 9, 2002, with Montreal at Milwaukee.

DANA EVELAND: Closed out the Mets’ 3-2 win at St. Louis on June 18...It was his second career save and first since Sep-

tember 5, 2005, with Milwaukee at Cincinnati...The last pitcher to go as long between saves in the majors was Derek Lowe

(11 years and one day from his last save for the Red Sox in 2001 to a save in his Yankees debut in 2012).

WHEELZ UP: Zack Wheeler hurled a three-hit complete-game shutout in a 1-0 win at Miami on June 19...He had never

gone deeper than 7.0 innings before that outing...The last complete-game shutout by a Met was by Jonathon Niese on

August 27, 2013 vs. Philadelphia in a 5-0 victory...Niese's outing was also the last complete-game by a Met...The last Mets

starter to pitch a complete-game shutout in a 1-0 game was R.A. Dickey on August 13, 2010 vs. Philadelphia...The last Met

to toss a complete-game 1-0 shutout on the road was Al Leiter on April 18, 2002 at Montreal.

YOUNGEST SINCE: Zack Wheeler, who turned 24 years old on May 30, became the youngest Mets pitcher to hurl a 1-0

complete-game shutout since Dwight Gooden threw two of them in 1985 at age 20...Since 1997 the only Met as young as

Wheeler to throw a shutout by any score was Jonathon Niese at age 23 on June 10, 2010 against the Padres in a 3-0 win

in the second game of a doubleheader.

1-0 WITH A HOMER: David Wright hit a first-inning home run for the game's lone run on June 19 at Miami...It was the 26th

time in team history the Mets won a 1-0 game with a home run...It last occurred on August 7, 2010 at Philadelphia when Jeff

Francoeur hit a seventh-inning home run...It was the sixth time the home run came in the first inning...The last time that

happened was May 12, 2004 at Arizona when Kaz Matsui took Randy Johnson deep...Wright also hit a home run in a 1-0 win

at San Francisco on August 26, 2005...Wright is the only player in franchise history to hit a home run in a 1-0 game twice.

IN THE WIN COLUMN: Jacob deGrom won his first major league game on June 21 at Miami...He tossed 7.0 shutout

innings...Since 1999, the only other Mets to earn their first major league win while pitching 7.0 or more inning without allowing

a run are Jae Seo (April 17, 2003 at Pittsburgh, 7.0 innings) and Jonathon Niese (September 13, 2008 vs. Atlanta, 8.0

innings).

RBI STREAK: David Wright had at least one RBI in seven straight games (June 17-24) tying his career-best...Wright also

had a seven-game RBI streak from June 10-17, 2010.

DOUBLE DIGITS BACK-TO-BACK: The Mets scored double-digit runs in consecutive games (June 22 at Miami, 11-5 and

June 24 vs. Oakland, 10-1) for the first time since June 28-29, 2011 when they scored 14 and 16 runs in Detroit...Before

their 10-1 win on June 24 the Mets hadn’t scored more than six runs in a game at Citi Field since a 9-7 loss to the Nationals

in the season opener on March 31...The Mets snapped a streak of 35 consecutive home games scoring six or fewer runs,

which was the third-longest in franchise history (39 games spanning 1979–1980, and 36 games in 2001).

GRAND STREAK: Curtis Granderson reached base in a career-best 34 starts before going 0-5 on June 27 at Pittsburgh

...The last time a Met had a longer such streak was in 2008 (Carlos Beltran, 42 games, April 22-June 7).

100: Daniel Murphy became the first National League player to reach the 100-hit mark when he singled in the fifth inning on

June 29 vs. Pittsburgh...Murphy was only the second Mets player to have the distinction of being the first NL player to record

100 hits in a season...The first was Jose Reyes in 2011 (June 16).

GRAND JUNE: Curtis Granderson finished fourth in the NL with a .411 on-base percentage in June and was third in the

majors with 19 walks.

JULY NOTES

LONG GAME: The Mets-Rangers game on July 4 was the longest (4:08) in major league history in which both teams

combined to score fewer than 15 runs (Mets-6, Rangers-5) and the home team won without batting in the ninth inning.

BULLISH PEN: The Mets got 8.2 innings from their bullpen on July 4 vs. Texas, the club’s most from their relievers in a

nine-inning game since September 20, 2012 when they got 9.0 innings…They last got at least 8.2 innings of relief in a nine-

inning win on May 20, 2010, when five relievers combined for 9.0 innings in a 10-7 win at Washington.

JOSH EDGIN: Retired the first batter he faced in his first 23 games, a franchise record to start a season...The streak ended

on July 5 vs. Texas.

WALK-OFF RUBEN: Ruben Tejada singled home Juan Lagares in the 11th inning to give the Mets a 4-3 win on July 7 vs.

Atlanta…Tejada also singled home the game-winning run on May 11 vs. Philadelphia...Tejada has three career walk-off RBI

as a shortstop which ties the Mets record, a mark he now shares with Howard Johnson, Kevin Elster and Rey Ordonez.

4,000: The Mets beat the Braves, 8-3, on July 8 for the club’s 4,000th win in team history.

ROOKIE STRIKEOUTS: Jacob deGrom had 11 strikeouts on July 8 vs. Atlanta, giving the rookie two 11-strikeout games

among his first 11 career starts…He joined Nolan Ryan and Dwight Gooden as the only pitchers in franchise history with at

least two 11-strikeout games among their first 11 career appearances...Also deGrom became the first Mets rookie to fan

double-digits over at least 7.0 shutout innings since Dwight Gooden had 16 strikeouts in a five-hit, 2-0 victory against

Pittsburgh on September 12, 1984 at Shea.

CITI FIELD HOME RUNS: The Mets hit a home run in a club-record nine straight games at Citi Field (June 15-July 9)…The

previous streak was eight games, done twice before and last, September 27, 2012-April 19, 2013...The home run streak at

home was tied for the fifth-longest in franchise history.

START ME UP: Mets’ starting pitchers went more than 6.0 innings in seven straight games from July 5-11...It was the team’s

longest such streak since 2000 (also seven games, June 16–23).

HOMESTAND REWIND: The Mets went 8-2 on their final homestand before the All-Star break (July 4-13)...In 10 games,

the Mets had 40 extra-base hits: 28 doubles, one triple, and 11 home runs…Excluding Jonathon Niese’s injury shortened

start to open the homestand, Mets starters tossed at least 6.0 innings in the final nine games and averaged 6.2 innings per

start...Mets pitchers struck out 82 and walked 26.

ALL-STAR: Daniel Murphy was selected to his first All-Star team as National League Manager Mike Matheny’s selection

...Murphy was the third Mets second baseman named to an All-Star Game...Edgardo Alfonzo was named in 2000 and Ron

Hunt was on the 1964 and 1966 National League teams...Murphy went 0-1 in the game.

THREE STRAIGHT: Jacob deGrom recorded a win while pitching at least 7.0 innings and allowing no more than one run in

three straight starts (July 8-22)...DeGrom became the second rookie pitcher in team history with a three-game streak of that

kind...Jerry Koosman did it from April 11-23, 1968.

ALMOST PERFECT: Bartolo Colon had a perfect game for the first 6.2 innings on July 23 at Seattle and earned the victory

in the Mets' 3-2 win over the Mariners...Matt Harvey was the last Mets pitcher to take a perfect game 6.2 innings when he

got the first 20 outs against the White Sox at Citi Field on May 7, 2013...Colon also improved to 13-1 (.929) at Safeco Field,

giving him the highest winning percentage for a visiting pitcher with at least 10 wins at any park since Dave McNally was 13-

1 for the Orioles at RFK Stadium (then the home of the Washington Senators) from 1963-1971.

ALMOST PERFECT II: Colon’s outing on July 23 at Seattle marked the fifth time that a Mets starting pitcher retired the first

20 (or more) opposing batters in a game...The Mets’ other perfect-game bids of at least that length were by Tom Seaver in

1968 vs. the Cardinals (August 30: 7 innings, Orlando Cepeda hit a double to break it up),..Seaver again in 1969 vs. the

Cubs (July 9: 8.1 innings, Jimmy Qualls single), Rick Reed vs. the Devil Rays in 1998 (June 8: 6.2 innings, Wade Boggs

double), and Matt Harvey vs. the White Sox in 2013 (May 7: 6.2 innings, Alex Rios infield single).

CONNECT FOUR: Jacob deGrom became the first rookie in team history to win four consecutive games (July 8-27) in one

season while pitching more than 6.0 innings and allowing no more than one run in each game...Since 1982, the only other

pitchers with four-game streaks of that kind for any major league team in their rookie season are Roy Oswalt (2001 Astros),

Jered Weaver (2006 Angels) and Matt Cain (2006 Giants).

Rick Aguilera (0.89 in July 1985), Jerry Koosman (1.04 in April 1968) and Dwight Gooden (1.29 in September 1984).

AUGUST NOTES

ROOKIE NEAR NO-HIT: Jacob deGrom tossed 6.2 no-hit innings on August 2 vs. San Francisco before Pablo Sandoval

doubled…It was the third-longest no-hit bid by a rookie in franchise history…Randy Tate pitched 7.1-hitless innings against

Gooden, seven starts from August 11-September 12, 1984, Jason Isringhausen, seven consecutive starts in 1995 and Dillon

Gee won five straight in 2011 also accomplished the feat.

LUCKY SEVEN: Zack Wheeler went seven straight starts working 6.0 or more innings and allowing two or fewer runs from

June 30-August 5...The last Mets starter with a longer such single-season stretch was Masato Yoshii in 1999 (August 18-

September 30) when he had eight consecutive starts of 6.0 or more innings and two or fewer runs...Wheeler went 4-0 with

a 1.59 ERA (eight earned runs/45.1 innings) during those seven starts.

MILESTONE MET: Bartolo Colon became the 115th pitcher in major league history to reach the 200-win plateau on August

8 at Philadelphia...Colon became the third Dominican-born pitcher with 200 wins, joining Juan Marichal (243) and Pedro

Martinez (219)...He was the third pitcher to reach his 200th win in a Mets uniform...Orel Hershiser (July 22, 1999 at Montreal)

and Pedro Martinez (April 17, 2006 vs. the Braves at Shea Stadium)...In addition, Colon turned 41 on May 24...Only three

other pitchers who made their major league debut in the last 90 seasons were at least 41 years old when they notched their

200th career win: Tim Wakefield (age 45 in 2011), Charlie Hough (age 44 in 1992) and Jamie Moyer (age 42 in 2005).

IN THE PARK: Jacob deGrom went 67.1 innings (June 5-August 7) without allowing a home run, the longest single-season

homerless innings streak by a rookie in team history and the longest by a pitcher exclusively as a starter since 1995, when

the Phillies’ Tyler Green pitched 79.2 consecutive innings without giving up a home run...Mark Bomback held the previous

mark for a Mets rookie when he went 60.1 innings without surrendering a home run in 1980.

DANA EVELAND: Worked a scoreless 10th inning on August 9 at Philadelphia to earn his first victory since September 26,

2011 as a member of the Dodgers at Arizona.

EXTRA PHIL: The Mets played six extra-inning games against the Phillies this year (going 4-2), tying their franchise record

for most extra-inning games versus one team in a season...The Mets and Cardinals played six extra-inning games in 1985

(going 3-3).

FIRST THINGS FIRST: The Mets scored the first run in each of their first nine games in Philadelphia this year...That tied the

single-season Mets record for consecutive games scoring first on the road against one team, a mark set in 1979 vs. the

Pirates in Pittsburgh and tied in 2010 vs. the Nationals in Washington.

WALK-OFF LOSSES: The Mets suffered their 11th walk-off on August 10 at Philadelphia...The 11 walk-off losses were tied

most in team history at Philadelphia...The 1972 Mets went 8-1...New York scored first in all 10 games at Philly this year...The

Mets became the first team to win at least eight road games against one opponent in a season while scoring first 10 or more

times since 1961, when the Dodgers went 9-1 in Philadelphia and scored first in all 10 games.

Page 8: 2014 YEAR IN REVIEW - MLB.commlb.mlb.com/documents/4/7/8/100704478/2014_Mets_Year_in...Philadelphia (Tom Hume)…Prior to Davis, the last major leaguer to hit a walk-off, pinch-hit

eight straight games without an error from April 9-16.

TRAVIS d’ARNAUD: Hit his 10th home run on August 13 vs. Washington...He would finish with 13 home runs, the most by

a rookie catcher in team history...D’Arnaud became the 25th rookie in franchise history to reach double-digit home runs and

the first since Lucas Duda hit 10 in 2011.

WRIGHT STREAK: David Wright hit in 13 straight games from August 2-14...He hit .315 (17-54) with four RBI during that

stretch...The streak was Wright’s longest since he hit in 15 games from June 9-25, 2012...Wright had four double-digit hitting

streaks in 2014 and 21 for his career, the most in team history...The only other player with four separate hitting streaks of 11

or more games in the same season was Keith Hernandez, who accomplished the feat in 1987.

ERIC CAMPBELL’S MEANINGFUL DAY: Eric Campbell hit a three-run home run on August 15 vs. Chicago-NL that proved

to be the difference in New York’s 3-2 win...Earlier in the day, Campbell and the Mets accepted the Ice Bucket Challenge to

raise awareness for ALS...Campbell’s college teammate at Boston College was Pete Frates, one of the driving forces behind

the Ice Bucket Challenge and who was diagnosed with ALS in 2012...The three RBI established a career-high for Campbell.

WINS WITH FEWER THAN FIVE HITS: The Mets won consecutive games while collecting four or fewer hits in each game

on August 15 and 16 vs. Chicago-NL…It was the fourth time in team history that occurred…Also: May 4, 1989 against Cincin-

nati and May 6, 1989 against Houston; June 12-13, 1976 at San Francisco and April 9-10, 1976 against Montreal.

CUBS SERIES: The Mets were held to exactly four hits in each game of their four-game series against the Cubs (August

15-18)...It was the first time that a major league team recorded four or fewer hits in each of four consecutive games in one

series since 1963, when the Mets did that while being swept by the Houston Colt .45s in a four-game series at the Polo

Grounds (September 13-15).

Philadelphia...The only time a Mets pitcher recorded eight or more consecutive strikeouts at any point in one game was on

April 22, 1970, when Tom Seaver set the major league record with 10 straight strikeouts in a game against the Padres at

Shea Stadium...DeGrom finished with a career-best 13 strikeouts, his third career double-digit strikeout game...The 13

strikeouts were the most by a Mets pitcher since June 18, 2013, when Matt Harvey also struck out 13 in Game One of a

doubleheader in Atlanta.

DON’T WALK: Jacob deGrom went 12 straight starts issuing two or fewer walks from July 2-September 15...The streak
