With Moises Alou and Marlon Anderson on the Disabled List, the Mets desperately reached down to Double-A Binghamton and brought up Nick Evans, the first Met born in 1986, stuck him in left field and he doubled three times in his first game, driving in two runs and making a bunch of catches as the Mets broke a five-game losing streak in Colorado.

Seriously, though, what a great day for that kid. Coming up from AA and hitting three doubles in his first big game.
From Newsday –
The past 24 hours were anything but normal for Evans, who was pulled from leftfield in Binghamton with one out in the ninth Friday night. At first he thought it was because he botched a fly ball earlier in the game that turned into an inside-the-park home run. After B-Mets manager Mako Olivares told him he got the call – Marlon Anderson went down Friday with a strained left hamstring – Evans took a connecting flight through Detroit in the morning that got him to Denver by 10:10 a.m. for the 1:55 p.m. start.
When the wide-eyed Evans arrived, he looked as if he had been summoned from Little League, not the Eastern League. “It's about time you showed up,” closer Billy Wagner yelled from a clubhouse table. “We've been waiting.”
The bewildered Evans, who had yet to sleep or eat since Friday's call, slipped on a batting- practice jersey with the No. 6 and stood there half-dressed before assistant general manager Tony Bernazard, the vice president of player development, went over to check on him at his locker. “You ready?” Bernazard asked. Said Evans, “I don't have any pants yet.”
