Carlos Gomez granted free agency on July 3, 2019.


1996
In a 10-6 Mets victory over Philadelphia, Alex Ochoa enjoys a 5-for-5 day at Veterans Stadium. With his eighth-inning homer, the 24 year-old right fielder becomes the sixth player in franchise history to hit for the cycle.



1980: The Tulsa Drillers score three runs on a fly out in a 7 - 1 win over the Jackson Mets. With the bases loaded, Ron Gooch flies out to Archie Amerson. Amerson's throw home to get Mike Jirschele is off-target and the ball bounces away from C Stan Hough as Jirschele and George Wright score. Jackson pitcher Tom Thurberg recovers the ball but his throw is wild as well and hits on-deck batsman Phil KlimasMel Barrow charges home with the third run of the play, having legged it from first base.

1994: The Mets' Rico Brogna breaks up Andy Benes's no-hit bid with a double in the 8th inning. The Padres win, 7 - 0, as Benes fans 13 and walks only one in his one-hitter. He also drives home three runs with a double of his own.

2000: The Marlins defeat the Mets, 2 - 0, on Derrek Lee's two-run homer in the 9th, off Turk WendellJesus Sanchez, 0-6 versus New York, is the winner. The loss ends C Mike Piazza's streak of 15 consecutive games with an RBI, two short of the major league mark.
