1962

Al Jackson suffers his 20th loss of the season when Chicago beats the Mets at the Polo Grounds, 8-2. The New York southpaw joins Roger Craig in reaching the dubious number of defeats, making the pair the first teammates since Bucky Walters and Joe Bowman of the 1936 Phillies to become 20-game losers on the same National League team.

1988

The Mets clinch their fourth NL East title when Ron Darling goes the distance, defeating Philadelphia at Shea Stadium, 3-1. The Amazins also copped the division flag in 1969, 1973, and 1986.


 


1998

John Olerud ties Barry Bonds' National League record of reaching base 15 consecutive times when he walks in the first inning. The Mets first baseman will groundout in the third, falling one short of the 1957 major league mark set by Ted Williams.

2000

Mets' closer Armando Benitez blanks the Phillies in the ninth for his 39th save, breaking southpaw John Franco's club record. The left-handed bullpen veteran also appeared in the Mets' 9-6 win.

2003

For only the third time in major league history, a Korean pitcher and a Japanese pitcher oppose one another as Expos' hurler Tomo Ohka faces Jae Weong Seo as starters at Shea Stadium. Both Pacific Rim right-handers throw well, but neither gets the decision as Montreal beats the Mets on misplayed fly balls in the ninth, 4-2.

Baseball Reference:

1986: The New York Mets defeat the St. Louis Cardinals, 5 - 2, at Shea Stadium. The Mets' Wally Backman, on his 27th birthday, hits his only home run of the season.

2008 - The Mets fall to one game up in the wild card race, losing 9 - 5 to the Cubs. Chicago clinches home field advantage for the playoffs. Pitcher Jason Marquis hits a grand slam and drives in 5 in the win. It is the second grand slam by a pitcher off New York hurlers this year, the first team since the 1977 Cubs to allow two such slams. Jon Niese takes his first major league loss. 

2011: The Cardinals blow a 6 - 2 9th-inning lead in losing to the Mets, 8 - 6. SS Rafael Furcal misplays a potential double play grounder to start New York's six-run outburst. Jason Motte walks three batters - who all score - and Marc Rzepczynski is charged with the loss. The loss is only St. Louis's third over their last 16 games and they are 2 games back of Atlanta in the National League wild card race.
