The last time the Mets had lost 1-0 on consecutive days was Sept. 4-5, 1990, at St. Louis and Pittsburgh, STATS said. The previous team to defeat New York 1-0 on back-to-back days was the Chicago Cubs in April 1973 at Shea Stadium. Ferguson Jenkins beat Tom Seaver in the opener in a matchup of future Hall of Famers.
Nats/Expos had never won consecutive 1-0 games before.

Bartolo is just a head-shaking spectacle of ease and mastery. Though Familia yielding a leadoff HR to Machado in the 9th gave me Armando Benitez flashbacks...
In the Mets program I learned that the 3 all-timers Kirk Nieuwenhuis would invite to dinner are CS Lewis, Churchill, and George W Bush.

via espn.com:
Colon became the first pitcher in at least 100 years to defeat the same opponent with seven different teams...
Colon has defeated the O's while pitching for Cleveland, the White Sox, the Angels, Boston, the Yankees, Oakland and the Mets.
STATS said its research dating to 1914 shows no other pitcher who has topped the same opponent with seven different clubs. Dan Haren, David Wells and Hall of Fame spitballer Burleigh Grimes were among the seven to beat a team six ways.

Left fielder Michael Cuddyer barely avoided nicking him and marveled at what Lagares can catch, telling Collins: "He calls me off balls hit right to me."

deGrom is throwing all of pitches harder than he did last year. His curveball isn’t breaking quite as much as it did, he’s not using it against right-handed hitters as often, and it’s generating fewer swinging strikes overall. Hitters haven’t whiffed on his four-seam fastball as often, and they’ve already hit more home runs against that pitch this year than they did all of last year.
