7,712: Yanks halt Mets’ winning streak at 8

Saturday, June 19th, 2010
Streak stopped

The New York Yankees halted the Mets’ winning streak at eight Saturday with a 5-3 Subway Series win at Yankee Stadium.

It was a rare loss for Mets starter Mike Pelfrey (9-2), who gave up a two-run homer to Mark Teixeira in the third and another to Curtis Granderson in the fourth.

Pelfrey lost his no-hitter right away when Brett Gardner hit a lead-off single, advancing our NoNoHitters.com count to 7,712 New York Mets games with no no-no. Pelfrey increased his lead above all active-roster Mets pitchers with 26 no-nos lost on the first at bat (see our No-hitters killed by first at bat page for more details.)

Jose Reyes had two homers, a solo shot to open the game and a two-run blast in the third.

Yankees starter Phil Hughes improved to 10-1.

7,689: Johan outduels C.C., Mets beat Yanks 6-4

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

Johan Santana outdueled fellow ace C.C. Sabathia to give the New York Mets a 6-4 win over the New York Yankees to take the three-game series.

The Mets left the bases loaded in the first inning but didn’t come up empty in the second. After Alex Cora got the Mets on the board with a a two-RBI single to score Rod Barajas and Jose Reyes, Jason Bay blasted a ball over the left-center field fence pennants to make it 4-0.

Bay in his next at-bat crushed an outside fastball into the bullpens for a solo shot to give the Mets a 5-0 lead.

Santana threw 7 2/3 innings, giving up just one earned run on six hits and three walks. He struck out five, and lost his no-hitter on the first pitch on a Derek Jeter single, which advanced our NoNoHitters.com count to 7,689 New York Mets games with no no-no and forced us to again update our No-hitters killed by first at bat page.

Ryota Igarashi and Francisco Rodriguez got into a little trouble in the ninth, but K-Rod got A-Rod with a change-up to close the door on the Yankees.

7,556: Subway series is over, and that’s a good thing

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

OK, so the Yankees beat the Mets again. If you want to read about details of the game, there are plenty of stories out there. This post will not be one of them. Frankly, I’m sick of fretting about it.

So here’s all you need to know related to our NoNoHitters.com count: The game started with a leadoff double off the left-field wall by Derek Jeter that quickly eliminated the possibility of the first New York Mets no-hitter. It advanced our NoNoHitters.com count to 7,556 games, and – as always – you can visit our No-hitters killed by first at bat for details on these quick exits.

Other than that, the Subway Series is over, and that’s a good thing.

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

The Yankees held the Mets to a single hit Saturday night, guaranteeing the 2009 Subway Series is property of the Bronx.

Alex Cora’s sixth inning single was the Mets’ only one, and it didn’t lead to anything.

7,554: Error-filled second dooms Mets, Yanks win 9-1

Friday, June 26th, 2009

C.C. Sabathia shut the Mets down for seven innings Friday night to lead the Yankees to a 9-1 win over the Mets to begin the Flushing Meadows portion of the Subway Series.

Mike Pelfrey lost his no-hitter when the leadoff hitter stepped into the box, as Brett Gardner (who had a 5-for-5 night) singled up the middle to make it 7,554 New York Mets games without a no-no. (All your favorite stats on quick no-no kills are on our No-hitters killed by first at bat page.

Gary Sheffield’s solo homer – one of just three Mets’ hits – was the only highlight, so let’s list the lowlights and be done with this game.

  • An embarrassing four-run second inning that began with a David Wright throwing error doomed us early. The inning degraded further with an Alex Cora throwing error to second, and got worse when Nick Evans fielded a ball right on top of first base yet couldn’t get the out. By this time, I was expecting to hear the organist break into “The Toreador.”
  • Elmer Dessens looked great in the seventh by getting a couple of pop ups to end a jam, then gave up solo homers to Gardner and Alex Rodriguez in the eighth.
  • Bobby Parnell came in the eighth inning, dropped the ball for a balk and then threw a wild pitch. The runner on first advanced two bases by the time Parnell threw his first pitch.
  • Sean Green wasn’t much better, giving up two runs on three hits.
    • That’s all folks.

7,543: Nothing to see here

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Our NoNoHitters.com count climbed to 7,543 games Sunday, a day in which the Mets lost to the Yankees 15-0.

I could go on and summarize how the Yankees scored all their runs, but what’s the point?

We’ll just say that Santana lost his no-hitter on the first pitch when Derek Jeter shot a single into right field, and it went downhill from there.

And for the record, Jeter’s single was the 934th time a Mets pitcher lost his no-no on the first at bat, as chronicled on our No-hitters killed by first at bat page.

Of the Mets’ games without a no hitter through this season:

  • 934 games began with a leadoff hit by the Mets’ opponent
  • 704 potential no-hitters were broken up by a single
  • 145 potential no-hitters were broken up by a double
  • 33 potential no-hitters were broken up by a triple
  • 52 potential no-hitters were broken up by a home run
  • 503 of those games were played on the road
  • 431 were played at home (Citi Field, Shea Stadium or the Polo Grounds)
