Tim Healey Newsday: For at least a night, the Mets ran out of magic. The Reds’ Wade Miley held them to two runs in 6 1/3 innings. Pete Alonso homered, but Cincinnati countered with long balls from Jonathan India in the first, then Joey Votto and Aristides Aquino back-to-back in the third inning. The Mets (49-43) stranded the potential tying run on second base in the seventh and eighth innings and on first base in the ninth inning.

Mets.com: Stat of Day: Pete elite through 300 games. Pete Alonso hit his 88th career homer in his 300th career game on Tuesday, giving him the second most in AL/NL history through the first 300 games of a career. Ryan Howard holds the record with 91 homers through his first 300 games.

Transactions:

New York Mets traded Jesse Gonder to the Milwaukee Braves for Gary Kolb on July 21, 1965.

New York Mets traded Wayne Garrett and Del Unser to the Montreal Expos for Pepe Mangual and Jim Dwyer on July 21, 1976.

New York Mets traded Jason Jacome and Allen McDill to the Kansas City Royals for Derek WallaceJohn Carter and Geno Morones on July 21, 1995.

New York Mets traded Jeurys Familia to the Oakland Athletics for Bobby Wahl and Will Toffey on July 21, 2018.


1962
Craig Anderson throws a seven-hit, complete-game against Cincinnati, but New York cannot overcome Marv Throneberry's error which would have ended the fifth inning, allowing Vada Pinson to hit a two-out, two-run homer. The eventual 5-3 defeat at Crosley Field makes the right-hander the third consecutive Mets' starter, following losing efforts by Jay Hook and Roger Craig, to pitch a complete game and not get a victory.
1970
Ignoring Clay Kirby's bid for the Padres' first no-hitter in the 259th of their existence, San Diego skipper Preston Gomez, with his club trailing the Mets, 1-0, in the eighth inning, decides to pinch hit for his starting pitcher. Reliever Jack Baldschun fails to keep New York hitless, yielding a leadoff hit to Bud Harrelson, and San Diego eventually loses the Jack Murphy Stadium contest, 3-0. (Ed. Note: The Padres remain the only franchise without a no-hitter. LP)

1975
Mets' infielder Joe Torre becomes the first player in National League history to hit into four straight double plays in one game. Felix Millan singles in four consecutive at-bats against the Astros, making the dubious mark possible.



1970 - Clay Kirby has a no-hitter going for eight innings, but with two outs in the 8th and trailing 1 - 0, Padres manager Preston Gomez lifts him for a pinch hitterCito Gaston. Gaston fails to get a hit off Mets starter Jim McAndrew, and reliever Jack Baldschun gives up two runs in the 9th. The Padres lose, 3 - 0. Gomez will repeat the controversial move on September 41974.

1975: The Mets' Felix Millan has four straight singles but is wiped out each time when Joe Torre grounds into four straight double plays, tying a major league record. New York loses, 6 - 2, to the Astros.

1976Montreal trades OFs Jim Dwyer and Pepe Mangual to the New York Mets for OF Del Unser and INF Wayne Garrett.  The Mets lose to the Reds, 4 - 0, on Fred Norman's four-hitter.

2018 - The Mets trade closer Jeurys Familia to the Athletics for two prospects and $1 million in international bonus money.
