MLB.com: Pete Alonso Named NL Player of the week"...no player bopped more homers last week than Alonso, who went deep twice in Tuesday's victory over the Yankees and did so again in Friday's win against the Nationals...Alonso also drove in a season-high five runs in each of those games. It all added up to a .304/.370/.826 slash line with an MLB-best 12 RBIs over his six-game week."

1972

In the nightcap, the Phillies salvage a split of the twin bill when Steve Carlton, who sees his 30 consecutive scoreless innings streak snapped in the fourth, beats the Mets at Shea Stadium, 4-1. In the opener, New York outlasted Philadelphia, scoring a run in the bottom of the 18th inning for a 3-2 victory.

2010

The Mets induct four new members, all of whom played an instrumental role in the 1986 World Championship, to the team's Hall of Fame. Former GM Frank Cashen, previous skipper Davey Johnson, and two former All-Stars, slugger Darryl Strawberry and right-hander Dwight Gooden, join 21 other persons to be recognized by the club since the inception of the honor in 1981.

Baseball Reference:

1989 - The Mets trade popular OF Mookie Wilson to the Blue Jays for P Jeff Musselman and minor leaguer Mike Brady. Then, behind the pitching of Sid Fernandez, they blank the Cardinals, 11 - 0. Kevin McReynolds paces the offense by hitting for the cycle.

1996The Mets make a team-record seven errors in handing a 13 - 9 win to the Pirates. The Bucs get seven unearned runs.

2001: The Mets defeat the Astros, 8 - 2, in 10 innings. New York scores six runs in the 10th, the most ever in that frame for a Mets club, with Edgardo Alfonzo's three-run home run the big blow
