1963

At Yankee Stadium, the Mayor's Trophy Game is revived, with the cellar-dwelling Mets beating the mighty Yanks, 6-2. Before leaving for the West Coast, the Dodgers would play the Bronx Bombers in the annual midsummer exhibition contest to raise money for sandlot baseball teams.

1989

Dwight Gooden, with the Mets' 5-3 victory over the Expos, wins his 100th career game. Doc's 100-37 career total at the century mark is second only to Hall of Famer Whitey Ford's 100-36 start with the Yankees in 1958.

 

2003

During a College World Series contest against Stanford, a pitch strikes Cal State Fullerton shortstop Justin Turner on the left side of his face as he attempts to bunt. Then, adding insult to injury, the future Mets infielder also suffers a broken ankle when he unsuccessfully tries to avoid getting hit by the 87-mph fastball thrown by Matt Manship.

2007

On the bus ride to Shea Stadium to take on the Mets in an interleague contest, Twins' color commentator Bert Blyleven says he will have his head shaved if tonight's starter, Johan Santana, throws a complete-game shutout. The left-hander from Venezuela will shave the broadcaster's head after going the distance in Minnesota's 9-0 victory over New York's National League team.

 

Baseball Reference:

1971 - At Shea Stadium, the Mets defeat the Phillies, 6 - 5, in 15 innings. Ken Singleton homers in the 14th inning to re-tie the game and Donn Clendenon homers in the 15th to win it.

2016 - In one of the rare highlights for the Braves this season, Julio Teheran pitches a one-hitter for a 6 - 0 win as the Braves complete a three-game sweep of the Mets at Citi Field. Michael Conforto's 3rd-inning single is the only baserunner for New York, while the resurgent Freddie Freeman matches a career-high with four hits for Atlanta.

2017 - Rookie 1B Cody Bellinger hits a pair of homers in the Dodgers' 10 - 6 win over the Mets. In doing so, he overtakes both Wally Berger (in 1930) and Gary Sanchez (in 2016), who had hit 20 homers in their first 51 major league games, as he now has 21 long balls. That total leads the National League even though Bellinger spent the first three weeks of the season in the minors.
