A half-hour after the Midsummer Classic is completed, the
Mets send former All-Star reliever Francisco Rodriguez and cash to the
Brewers for two players to be named later. K-Rod, an outstanding closer for
the Mets and Angels, will be used primarily as a set-up man for Milwaukee's
John Axford. |
1977: Steve Henderson hits a game-winning home run off Bruce Sutter to give the Mets
a 4 - 2 victory over the Cubs.
After the game the Cubs relief ace admits his arm is bothering him, and asks to
be excused from the All-Star Game. Bleeding will be found in
Sutter's arm and he will get the week off after the All-Star break to rest it.
2015: Kirk Nieuwenhuis hits three home runs to lead the Mets to a 5 - 3 win over the Diamondbacks; Nieuwenhuis is the 10th player to have a three-homer game for the Mets, but the first ever to do so at home.
