Games 27 & 28: Another day off wouldn't have been so bad SNY/Twitter MARLINS 4, METS 0 & MARLINS 3, METS 0 -- The Mets played their first two sanctioned seven inning games yesterday. They are still looking for their first such win, having been swept by the Marlins. It was also the first time the Mets were shutout twice in a doubleheader since 1975. GIF'd above: In the sixth inning of the night cap, Miami's Jon Berti stole second, third and home, which symbolized last night as well as a tough debut for Mets catcher Ali Sanchez. Encouraging: - The best development was Seth Lugo, who pitched a perfect (three-inning) game in his first start since 2018. He ended up throwing 39 pitches -- Luis Rojas said he could throw as many as 50-60 -- and striking out five. - Dom Smith made an [incredible]( catch in the first game. Discouraging: - The Mets were 0-for-10 with RISP in the first game and 0-for-5 in the second, which is a continuation of this entire season. - Rick Porcello lost his fourth game, pitching three innings and allowing four runs in the first contest. Also: With runners on first and third and one out in the second game, Luis Guillorme lined into an unassisted double play, which put an end to the Mets' best scoring chance.

Game 26 waits another day Brad Penner/USA Today Due to a rainy night in Atlanta, the Yankees were postponed for the fourth straight game. They'll make up last night's game vs. the Braves in yet another doubleheader scheduled for today. (If you're counting, that means three doubleheaders in five days for the Yankees.) Alas, no game didn't mean no news. Four quick Yankees notes: - The Yankees have checked with the Giants about pitcher Kevin Gausman, SNY's Andy Martino [reported]( yesterday. - Aaron Judge was officially [taken]( off the IL yesterday. - [Here]( a deep dive on the recent success of Luke Voit, who was the hottest hitter in baseball before the COVID-19 hiatus. - J.A. Happ [hinted]( that the Yankees' brass is conspiring against him in order to avoid paying his $17 million vesting option. --------------------------------------------------------------- 3. By the numbers Kevin C. Cox/USA Today: DPOY vote-getter Jarrett Allen 21 of 30 teams 21 of the 30 NFL stadiums will not hold fans during games, at least to start the schedule. The Jets and Giants won't be allowed to hold fans "[until further notice]( while the Bills have only committed to no fans throughout their first two home games. $59 million Arizona safety Budda Baker received a four-year, $59 million extension yesterday, which sets the market for elite safeties, which means Jamal Adams will likely want more than that, which is no longer the Jets' problem. 1 (third-place) vote Results for the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year were announced yesterday, with Giannis Antetokounmpo winning the award by a sizable margin. The lone Net or Knick to show up on [the ballot]( was Jarrett Allen, who received a single third-place vote. That means, in potential trade talks, Nets GM Sean Marks will now be able to offer Allen, the DPOY vote-getting center. 1,995 yards The Jets signed undrafted rookie free agent Pete Guerriero on Tuesday. Guerriero, a Lyndhurst (N.J.) High School and Monmouth product, led all of the FCS (1-AA) in rushing last year, with 1,995 yards. --------------------------------------------------------------- 4. The U.S. Open is getting the 2020 sports treatment Historical archive/USA Today: Gooden pictured in 1990 If you haven't considered the event in a while, the U.S. Open Tennis Championships is indeed happening this year in Flushing, and soon. The tournament, which has been held in some capacity every year since 1881, is trudging toward an Aug. 31 start date. How will it look? In short, similar to every other sporting event in 2020: No fans, some dead noise, and more candid sounds from the athletes. Here are some specifics, [via]( ESPN's Peter Bodo: - Like with the Stanley Cup Playoffs, a large canvas will cover the sea of empty seats. - There will be nine courtside screens which will cast the ball-tracking Hawkeye technology. - Like with the NBA, the screens will also display virtual fans, including a collection of friends and family selected by each player. - There will not be piped-in noise during play, though there will be some before and after matches. --------------------------------------------------------------- 5.
