|
1963 |
At County Stadium, Roger Craig suffers his 20th loss of
the season when the Mets lose to Milwaukee, 2-1. The defeat is the
right-hander's 18th consecutive setback, tying Cliff Curtis' National League
mark set in 1910 with the Braves, and one loss shy of A's Jack Nabors' 1916
major league record. |
|
1982 |
After driving in the winning run in the Mets' 7-4 victory
over the Cubs, Joel Youngblood, who is traded to the Expos during the game,
flies to Philadelphia and singles for Montreal to become the first player to
have a hit for two different teams on the same day in different cities. The
30 year-old All-Star collects his two historic hits off two future Hall of
Famers, a single off Ferguson Jenkins in Chicago, and gets his other knock
off Steve Carlton in the City of Brotherly Love. |
|
1985 |
On the same day Tom Seaver records his 300th victory,
Mets' phenom Doc Gooden wins his 11th consecutive game, breaking Tom
Terrific’s franchise mark established in 1969. The 20-year-old right-hander,
going the distance, beats the Cubs at Wrigley Field, 4-1, to improve his record
to 17-3 this season. |
|
1985 |
In a 4-1 complete-game victory at Yankee Stadium, White
Sox right-hander Tom Seaver becomes the 17th player in major league history
to record his 300th victory, limiting the Bronx Bombers to
six hits, all singles. Owner George Steinbrenner becomes irate when the fans
start chanting 'Let's Go Mets,' as an homage to the beloved right-hander, who
spent the 12 years with his team's crosstown rivals. |
|
2006 |
In the Phillies' 5-3 victory over the Mets, Chase Utley's
hitting streak ends at 35 consecutive games. Philadelphia's second baseman,
who goes 0-for-5, has the fourth-longest stretch in National League history. |
|
2012 |
Mike Baxter sets a team record and ties a National League
mark when he walks five times in a nine-inning game in the Mets' 6-4 victory
over San Diego at Petco Park. Only five of the 25 pitches thrown to the New
York right fielder were strikes, with thirteen of the final 14 being out of
the strike zone. |
|
2016 |
Bartolo Colon becomes the first pitcher in the history of
the Subway Series to record a victory as a member of both New York clubs when
the visiting Mets beats the Bronx Bombers, 4-1. In 2011, Big Bart, in his
only season with the Yankees, pitched six strong innings of shutout ball to
earn a 5-2 victory over the Big Apple rivals at Citi Field. |
1962: After a doubleheader loss to the Mets, 9 - 1 and 3 - 2 in 13 innings
at the Polo Grounds, Reds manager Fred Hutchinson stays in the dugout instead of joining his
players in the clubhouse. He then calls the clubhouse and tells the players to
be out of there in 15 minutes. They do. Hutch has tickets for Zero
Mostel's A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, but
doesn't use them.
1966 - Pinch-hit home runs by Mets John
Stephenson and Ron Swoboda make the difference in New York's 8 - 6
defeat of the Giants at Shea Stadium.
1969 - The Reds win another squeaker, this time 1 - 0 over the Mets at Crosley
Field. Jim Maloney (5-2) allows two hits and beats Jerry
Koosman.
1997: At Shea Stadium, the Mets top the Cards, 4 - 2, in a rain-interupted game. Rick Reed (10-4) wins his 6th
straight, beating Manny Aybar, making his major league debut. Lance Johnson has a pair of RBI triples. Completing an unusual major
league-minor league sweep, the Pittsfield Mets top the New Jersey Cardinals (NY-Penn League), 8 - 4, in the earlier 9-inning game.
2001: In a 4 - 2 Mets win at Arizona, Mark Grace ends the game with a
ground ball single, which hits pinch runner David Dellucci for the last out as Dellucci is charged with interference. It's the D-backs 7th loss in nine games.
2009: Albert Pujols ends a brief slump with two home runs, including a 10th-inning grand slam, as the Cardinals beat the Mets, 12 - 7. The extra-inning blast comes after Mark DeRosa is plunked by Sean Green with the bases loaded to drive in the go-ahead run; it ties Ernie Banks's National League record of 5 slams in a season, set in 1955, and is his League-leading 36th homer of the year.
