1994

In his last appearance of the year, two-time Cy Young Award recipient Brett Saberhagen picks up his 14th and final victory of the campaign when the Mets beat the Phillies at Veterans Stadium, 6-2. The 30 year-old right-hander, in his 24 starts, will finish the strike-shortened season with more wins than walks (13) and home runs allowed (13).

2004

Taking a cab to Shea Stadium from nearby LaGuardia Airport, Mets starting pitcher Tom Glavine is injured as the taxi collides with an SUV. The 38 year-old two-time Cy Young Award winner loses his front two teeth and needs over 40 stitches to close facial lacerations.

Baseball Reference:

1983 - Al Oliver collects his 2,500th career hit, a 7th-inning single off Carlos Diaz, as the Expos beat the Mets, 5 - 3.

1992 - The Mets' Vince Coleman will end the season with just 27 walks, but he picks up five today against the Pirates to tie the 20th century mark. Pittsburgh breaks a 1 - 1 tie against the host Mets, scoring three runs in the 16th inning to win, 4 - 2. Reliever Dennis Cook wins as the Bucs' Andy Van Slyke and the Mets' Bill Pecota homer. John Franco pitches his second of four straight games, a season-high effort that puts him back on the disabled list.

1993:  Mets P Bret Saberhagen admits to having sprayed bleach at three reporters on July 27th. He agrees to donate one day's pay - $15,384.61 - to the Eye Research Foundation.
