Mike Puma of the New York Post reported the Mets held a players-only meeting in the clubhouse following Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates after dropping the first two contests in the series. To say things have not gone well of late for the Mets would be an understatement.

New York manager Carlos Mendoza was ejected in the fourth for arguing balls and strikes. Following their 12th loss in 15 games, the Mets held a players-only meeting in the clubhouse.

One of the most beloved figures in Pittsburgh Pirates history, Dave Parker, has died, the MLB franchise confirmed Saturday. He was 74. Parker, affectionately known as "The Cobra," was named to seven MLB All-Star teams. He racked up more than 2,700 hits and hit 339 homers during his storied big league career.

Parker, a towering outfielder who helped propel the Pirates to the World Series in 1979, was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame last year.
