New York Mets traded Tim Teufel to the San Diego Padres for Garry Templeton on May 31, 1991.

National Pastime.com: 

1964

In the nightcap of a doubleheader at Shea Stadium, Gaylord Perry pitches ten extra-inning frames in relief, getting the victory when the Giants beat the Mets in the longest game ever played in baseball history, 8-6. The future Hall of Famer reportedly threw his first spitball in a major league game during the seven-hour and 23 minute, 23-inning marathon.

1964

The Mets execute an unusual 6-6-3 triple play in the 14th frame of a 23-inning 8-6 loss to the Giants when shortstop Roy McMillan snares Orlando Cepeda's line drive, tags second base to double off Jesus Alou, and then throws to first, catching Willie Mays off base for the third out. The play is the team's second triple-killing in the franchise's brief history, having pulled one off against Los Angeles in 1962, the team's inaugural season.

 

1991

The Mets and Padres swap middle infielders, with second baseman Tim Teufel going to San Diego in exchange for shortstop Garry Templeton, who will retire at the end of the season. The Friars' new keystone sacker will hit .232 for during his two-plus seasons with the club.

2001

The Padres rout the Mets 18-6, setting a new scoring record for Petco Park. The team's total of tallies is one better than the previous mark set in the 17-2 victory over Atlanta in the home opener played in April.

Baseball Reference:

1964: At Shea Stadium, the New York Mets and the San Francisco Giants play the longest doubleheader in major league history - 9 hours, 52 minutes - with the help of a 23-inning game in the nightcap that is won by the visiting Giants, 8 - 6, on run-scoring hits by Del Crandall and Felipe Alou against Galen Cisco. The game takes 7:23 to play. In the opener, Juan Marichal pitches a complete game and Orlando Cepeda goes 3 for 4 with two runs and one RBI for a Giants 5 - 3 victory.

2013 - Jacob Turner beats the Mets, 5 - 1, in his season debut to end the Marlins' 9-game losing streak. Shaun Marcum falls to 0-6.
