NY Post: Mets-Marlins series finale suspended after three-hour delay amid Marlins’ playoff push. "The Mets were two outs from securing the game and the series, but a ninth-inning blown save allowed the Marlins to take the lead — and allowed more time for Mother Nature to move in. The game entered a delay at 9:41 p.m. in a driving rain, and the Mets announced the game was officially suspended in the same driving rain at 12:58 a.m. Friday."

1963

On the season's final day, John Paciorek, brother of Tom and Jim, goes 3-for-3, driving in three runs and scoring four times in his big league debut as Houston routs the Mets at Colt Stadium, 13-4. The 18-year-old Colt .45s right fielder, who also makes two outstanding defensive catches, will never again play in a big-league game due to severe back problems.

1964

At a press conference, the Mets announce Casey Stengel, the only skipper the franchise has ever known, will continue to manage next season. Although the expansion team has finished last in all three years of its existence, the 'Old Perfessor' receives a raise.

 

2002

On the last day of the season, the Braves use 24 players, with the Mets using 21 to tie the major league record for the most players employed in a nine-inning game. On September 5, 1978, the Expos and the Cubs combined to use 45 players.

2004

With the Braves beating the Mets 6-3, Bobby Cox becomes the ninth manager in baseball history to win 2,000 games. The other skippers who have reached this milestone are in the Hall of Fame, except for Tony La Russa, the current skipper of the Cardinals.

 

2018

The Mets' all-time hits leader, David Wright, sidelined by neck, back, and shoulder injuries for nearly two and a half years, plays his final game in the team's 1-0 extra-inning victory over the Marlins. After an emotional ceremony, the 35-year-old seven-time All-Star third baseman exits the game in the top of the fifth frame, hugging shortstop Jose Reyes and acknowledging the overwhelming response from the sell-out crowd on-hand at Citi Field to say goodbye.
