NY Post:

Pete Alonso loses to Julio Rodriguez in Home Run Derby second round “After defeating Ronald Acuna Jr. in the first round, Alonso faced a more formidable foe in the second round as he went toe-to-toe with rookie sensation Julio Rodríguez. The two-time defending champion crushed another 23 home runs, but the valiant effort ultimately wasn’t enough to beat Rodríguez’s 31 blasts.”

1980
Roy Lee Jackson retires the last 19 batters he faces en route to a complete-game victory in the Mets' 13-3 rout of the Reds at Riverfront Stadium. The 26 year-old right-hander benefits from his teammates' 20-hit barrage in the Cincinnati contest.

Baseball Reference:

1963 - With one out and a man on in the 9th, Roy Sievers hits his 300th career home run to give the Phils a 2 - 1 win over the Mets. Roger Craig is the victim, his 13th straight loss.

1976 - The Mets' Dave Kingman tears ligaments in his thumb diving for a ball in a 4 - 2 loss to the Braves. Kingman, who already has 32 home runs for the season, will hit only five more after being sidelined for six weeks.

1986 - Mets players Ron Darling, Tim Teufel, Bob Ojeda and Rick Aguilera are arrested following an early-morning fight with off-duty police officers working as security guards outside a Houston bar, but are all released in time for their game against the Astros that evening. On January 26, 1987, Darling and Teufel will be fined $200 while charges against Ojeda and Aguilera will be dropped.

2015: The Mets strand 25 baserunners but manage to defeat the Cardinals, 3 - 1, in 18 innings. Ruben Tejada drives in the winning run with a sacrifice fly and Eric Campbell follows with a successful squeeze bunt as the Mets go 1-for-26 with runners in scoring position. Starter Carlos Martinez is pressed into service for the Cards and takes the loss, pitching 4 innings. The game is scoreless for 12 innings, until Kevin Plawecki drives in a run for the Mets in the 13th, but Kolten Wong replies with a solo homer.
