1967

After Chicago's 4-1 victory over Cincinnati at Wrigley Field, many of the 40,464 patrons stay in the ballpark awaiting the outcome of the Cards/Mets game that, thanks to a New York victory, results with the Cubs in first place by half of a game. The enthusiastic fans refuse to leave the 'Friendly Confines' until the flags above the scoreboard reflect the home team's current position at the top of the standings, a task usually done the next day.

1972

At Montreal’s Jarry Park, the Expos walk away with a 4-3 victory when Mets right-hander Bob Rauch issues his fourth free pass of the inning, forcing in Carl Morton the winning run from third base. The frustrating loss will be the 23 year-old rookie’s only decision during a brief 19-game major league career.

 

2000

At Shea Stadium, Gregory Sweeney is arrested and charged with reckless endangerment after he throws a ball which Braves reliever John Rocker had tossed into the stands back onto the field. In a few days later, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown exonerates the 26 year-old Brooklyn man when he concludes the Mets fan had no criminal intent and was doing nothing more than following a baseball tradition of returning an unsolicited and unwanted souvenir.

 Baseball Reference:

1970: At Connie Mack Stadium, the Phils break their scoreless streak of 53 innings and sweep two from the Mets, 6 - 1 and 3 - 2. With successive pinch hits by Tony Taylor, Ron Stone and Byron Browne, the Phils score six in the 8th inning to win the opener for Jim Bunning, then again come from behind to win the nitecap for Chris Short. The opener is the 6,000th game played at the ancient stadium.

2011: The Mets' Jose Reyes, leading the major leagues with a .354 batting average, injures his hamstring in the 2nd inning of today's game with the Yankees and is headed for the disabled list at a time when trade rumors are swirling around the soon-to-be free agent. The Mets also lose the game, 5 - 2, as Bartolo Colon wins in his first start since returning from a hamstring injury of his own. Curtis Granderson homers for the Yanks.

2019 - The Yankees' record streak of consecutive games with at least one home run ends at 31 in a 4 - 2 loss to the Mets that coincides with 1B Luke Voit, one of the major contributors to the streak, going on the injured list with an abdominal strain. Michael Conforto is the hero for the Mets, with a go-ahead two-run double off Zack Britton in the 8th.

What is wrong with Jake? You want to win, you never surrender anything.

Mets’ bats. Ugly.

Villar, Nimmo, Davis 0 for 9 in rehab yesterday. Ugly.

And then…the Yanks show up. Megill the stopper?

Mets will need Walker and Stroman to pitch well this weekend. Then, the other hottest team (next to Nationals) in baseball comes to town - the Brewers. That series could be tougher than the Yankees this weekend.

I played third.

Luis's momentum and direction was already established for a throw to first.

He never could have changed direction and get to third in time to tag the bag.

He made the right play.

I agree Mack. That was his only play...the fact that he even got to it was a miracle. Lugo needed to get out of the way or field the ball.
