"They gave up a couple of runs, but they helped us and that's what good teams do. Everybody that gets put in the puzzle, fits the puzzle. Hopefully at the end of the year we get to see the full puzzle together"

1968
|
After four tries, the Mets still
haven't scored a run when Jim McAndrew starts a game with their 1-0 loss to
Houston at Shea Stadium. In his first four major league appearances, the 24
year-old rookie right-hander has a puny 1.82 ERA, but is 0-4 due to the team
dropping two 2-0 and two 1-0 decisions. |
|
1969 |
The Mets sweep a doubleheader from
the Padres for the second consecutive day, beating San Diego 3–2 in both ends
of the Shea Stadium twin bill. Yesterday, behind solid starts by Tom Seaver
and Jim McAndrews, the Amazins’ beat the Friars respectively, 2-0 and 2-1. |
|
1973 |
At Shea Stadium, 42 year-old
Willie Mays hits his 660th and final home run of his career off Cincinnati
southpaw Don Gullett. The Mets first baseman, who played 21 seasons roaming
the outfield for the Giants before coming home to New York last season, is
third on the all-time home run career list behind Babe Ruth (714) and Hank
Aaron (703). |
|
2014 |
Michael Cuddyer is the 30th player
to hit for multiple cycles, but becomes only the third player to accomplish
the feat in both the American and National League, joining Bob Watson
(Astros, 1977, and Red Sox, 1979) and John Olerud (Mets, 1997, and Mariners,
2001). The rare baseball occurrence is completed with an eighth inning double
off Reds reliever Manny Parra, who yielded three of the hits in the
outfielder's first cycle in 2009, pitching for the Brewers in a game against
the Twins. |
1973
- At Shea Stadium, 42-year old New
York Mets outfielder Willie Mays hits the 660th and final home run of
his career off Reds
lefty Don Gullett. Third-string catcher Hal King belts a pinch-hit homer in the top of the 10th inning
giving Cincinnati a 2 - 1 victory.
1982
- Cincinnati's
Mario
Soto fans 15 Mets
in a 9 - 2 victory to raise his league-leading strikeout
total to 209. Soto walks none. He will finish the season with 274 strikeouts,
second only to Steve Carlton's.
2010:
The Mets
place closer Francisco Rodriguez on the disqualified list and will not pay him
until he is able to pitch again. He suffered a season-ending thumb injury
punching his father-in-law last week, an action for which he faces criminal
assault charges. The Mets may still try to void the last year of his contract
as well, worth $11.5 million, although such a decision would be certain to be
contested by the Players
union.
