Transactions:
New York Mets purchased Ralph Terry from the Kansas City Athletics on August 6, 1966.

New York Mets signed free agent Wilmer Flores on August 6, 2007.

New York Mets traded Greg Veloz to the Washington Nationals for Anderson Hernandez on August 6, 2009.

1988

Jim Gott balks three times in the eighth inning, two of which allow a runner to score from third base. The Pirates relief pitcher's poor form on the mound proves to be the difference in the Mets' 5-3 victory over the Bucs at Three Rivers Stadium.

2003

Three weeks after trading for Armando Benitez with the crosstown Mets, the Yankees trade the much maligned reliever to the Mariners. In return, the Bronx Bombers get back 36 year-old Jeff Nelson for his second tour with the team.

2006

The Mets continue to make a commitment to their young players, signing 23 year-old David Wright to a $55 million, six-year contract extension. The third baseman joins shortstop Jose Reyes, also 23, who inked a long term deal with the club three days ago worth $23.25 million over the four years of the extension of the Dominican's contract.

Baseball Reference:

1969: Jim Merritt pitches the Reds back into first place in the National League West with a 3 - 2 win against the Mets.

1970: For the second and last time in his career, Lou Brock steals home, teaming up with Joe Hague on a double steal in the 1st inning against the Mets in St. Louis. Nelson Briles wins, 3 - 0, stopping Tom Seaver's nine-game win streak.

1975: The Mets fire manager Yogi Berra, promoting coach Roy McMillan as interim skipper.

1986: The Mets release outfielder George Foster, the last National League player to hit 50 home runs in one season. Foster will play 15 games for the White Sox before retiring for good.

2017: The Dodgers complete their first-ever season sweep of the Mets with an 8 - 0 win on a combined one-hitter by Hyun-Jin Ryu, Tony Cingrani and Kenley Jansen. New York only places two men on base all day: Travis d'Arnaud who hits a single in the 3rd, and Brandon Nimmo who draws a walk in the 9th. Meanwhile, Cody Bellinger hits his 32nd homer and Justin Turner, who also homers, improves his National League-leading batting average to .349. As the Associated Press puts it: "Los Angeles crushed the Mets like refuse in a trash compactor, outscoring them 57-15 over seven games and outhomering them 25-11."
