The Impossible Happened: Today in Sports History

On May 7th, 2016, 42-year-old pitcher Bartolo Colon hit his first and only career home run against the San Diego Padres. Looking for his first hit of the year, Colon stepped up against pitcher James Shields with a runner on second base. Sitting at a 1-1 count, Colon turned on a 90 mph fastball and drove it deep over the left field wall, extending the Mets lead to 4-0. In Colon's final All-Star season, he set a career high in total bases on the year, tallying 10 throughout 2016. The Mets celebrated the 10-year anniversary earlier today on social media. Colon's response? "I might have more in the tank."

Santana Gets Mets’ First No-Hitter: Today in Sports History

On June 1st, 2012, after 50 years and 8,019 games, Johan Santana threw the New York Mets first no-hitter in franchise history. Santana’s performance included 134 pitches, tied for the fifth-most recorded pitches in a solo no-hitter. He struck out eight batters and walked five. Coming off of shoulder surgery from the previous season, the 33-year-old may not have had his best stuff against the St. Louis Cardinals, but they kept biting early at Santana’s pitches. To this day, it remains the Mets’ only solo no-hitter.

Christian Scott’s First Win!

Christian Scott recorded his first win today against the Marlins. Dating back to 2024, when he debuted for the Metropolitans, he’s started 16 games, compiling an 0-3 record, but that all changed tonight! Equally shocking, Scott is the only Mets pitcher to allow 4 ER or less in each of his first 16 starts. May tonight is the first of many wins for Christian Scott. LFGM!
