Ron Taylor, former relief pitcher, 1969 Miracle Met, and longtime physician, passed away Monday after a lengthy illness.

The Mets looked like they were well on their way to a seventh straight victory as Clay Holmes left the mound. For the third time in his last four starts, the right-hander had allowed just one run. He exited the game after five innings of work with his team up 5-1. Then disaster ensued.

New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty is now dealing with a groin injury that popped up during Sunday's game.
