Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com: 

Born on this date:

Transactions:
New York Mets traded Jay Bruce to the Cleveland Indians for Ryder Ryan on August 9, 2017.

New York Mets signed free agent Joe Panik on August 9, 2019.

Baseball Register:

1964 - Phillies P Jim Bunning, who pitched a no-hitter in his last start against the Mets, throws another five innings of hitless ball against New York before Joe Christopher beats out a 2-out bunt. Bunning wins the game, 6 - 0.

1970 - At Three Rivers Stadium, Willie Stargell hits an 8th-inning homer into the 70-foot high right field upper deck, the first player to hit one up there. The pitch is served up by Mets reliever Ron Taylor. The next two hit up there will also be by Stargell, who will hit four of the first 7; Bob Robertson, Phillie Greg Luzinski, and Bobby Bonilla, in 1987, will also reach the seats. The Pirates win, 8 - 3. Nolan Ryan is the loser, allowing four runs in six innings, allowing three hits, walking seven and striking out 10.

1975 - Davey Lopes steals his 32nd consecutive base without being caught for the Dodgers in a 2 - 0 win over the Mets. This breaks the major-league record set by Max Carey in 1922.

1987With help from Lee Smith, Scott Sanderson beats the Mets, 6 - 3, at Shea Stadium. The loser is Doc Gooden, who snaps his 10-game winning streak against the Cubs. He'll start another streak of 12 wins.

1988 - The Cubs play their first-ever official night game at Wrigley Field defeating the Mets, 6 - 4. Last night's attempt to play a night game was rained out after four innings

2012 - R.A. Dickey pitches a complete game for his 15th win of the year as the Mets end a 9-game home losing streak by defeating the Marlins, 6 - 1. Jose Reyes's hitting streak, the longest in the majors this year at 26 games, is stopped as well as he goes 0 for 4 for Miami; for the Mets, Andres Torres has a double, a triple and a homer.
