1985

Von Hayes becomes the first player to hit two home runs in the first inning of a game. The outfielder's leadoff homer and a grand slam in the Phillies' nine-run first frame contribute to Philadelphia's 26-7 rout of the Mets.

Baseball Reference:

1963 - At the Polo Grounds‚ Jim Maloney strikes out 12 batters to give the Reds an 8 - 3 victory over the Mets.

1967 - Adolfo Phillips blasts 4 home runs in a doubleheader‚ 3 of them in consecutive at-bats in the second game‚ as the Cubs sweep the Mets at Wrigley Field, 5 - 3 and 18 - 10. The total of eleven homers in the second game sets a National League record for two clubs in 9 innings and the two teams tie a NL mark when they total 40 extra bases on long hits (26 for Chicago and 14 for New York). The mark was set on July 31‚ 1954. Adolpho has 6 hits and 8 RBIs on the day.

 1981The Reds (35-21) win their 7th straight‚ topping the Mets‚ 2 - 1‚ in New York.

1985 - Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Von Hayes becomes the first major-league player ever to hit two home runs in the first inning, as Philadelphia blasts the Mets, 26 - 7. Hayes leads off with a home run‚ off Tom Gorman‚ and capping a 9-run outburst with a grand slam. Mets relievers Joe Sambito (3 innings) and Calvin Schiraldi (1.1 innings) both give up 10 runs apiece. The 26 runs in one game is a club record and the most in the National League since 1944.

1993: The Mets trade SS Tony Fernandez to the Blue Jays in exchange for OF Darrin Jackson.

2005 - Marlon Anderson hits a rare pinch hit game-tying inside-the-park home run in the 9th inning as the Mets match the Angels‚ 2 - 2. The Angels plate a run in the top of the 10th but Cliff Floyd's three-run homer in the bottom of the frame ends it‚ 5 - 3. You Tube Video.
