| 2013 | Bruce Bochy names Matt Harvey the National League's starter in tomorrow's Midsummer Classic at Citi Field. The 24-year-old rookie right-hander is the first Mets pitcher to start an All-Star Game since Dwight Gooden got the nod in 1988 and will become the sixth hurler to start in his home ballpark. |
| 2015 | Kirk Nieuwenhuis, recently reacquired by the Mets from the Angels after they sold him to the Halos in May, hits three home runs in his first three at-bats, helping the team complete a three-game sweep of the Diamondbacks with a 5-3 victory at Citi Field. The outfielder's first three homers of the season mark the tenth time in franchise history a player has gone deep three times in a game, but the 27-year-old is the first to accomplish the feat at home. |
