1976

After striking out leading off the game, his 21st consecutive hitless at-bat dating back to June 6, Mike Phillips hits for the cycle in the the Mets’ 7–4 victory over the Cubs at Wrigley Field. The New York third baseman doubles in the third, triples in the fifth, homers in the seventh, completing the feat with a single in the eighth inning.

1985

After a line drive foul ball drills a Yankee batboy off the bat of Bronx Bomber catcher Butch Wynegar, the team mandates batboys near the on-deck circle will be required to wear batting helmets. All major league teams will soon adopt the new rule of having batboys wearing a protective helmet while working.

1989

The Mets, with fly ball pitcher Sid Fernandez on the mound, play a nine-inning game without recording an infield assist, beating the Phillies at Shea Stadium 5-1. The Amazins set a National League record and tie the major league mark, joining the 1945 Indians as the only teams ever to accomplish the unusual fielding feat.

2001

In the first professional baseball game in Brooklyn after a 44-year absence, the short-season Class A minor league Cyclones win their home opener at Keyspan Park, defeating the Mahoning Valley (Ohio) Scrappers 3-2 in 10 innings. The name of the New York-Penn Mets farm team refers to the famous roller coaster located at the nearby amusement park on Coney Island.

Baseball Reference:

1969 - The Mets (14) and Phillies (13) set a National League record for ineptitude by striking out 27 times in the first nine innings of a 10-inning game. The Phils win 6 - 5 when rookie Dave Watkins triples and scores in the 10th. Watkins, who replaces Cookie Rojas when he was thumbed in the 5th, hits his first major league homer as well. Lowell Palmer strikes out nine in 4 1/3 innings for Philadelphia, while Nolan Ryan K's 10 in 6 1/3 innings.

1971Cleon Jones ties a National League record by drawing six walks, helping the Mets to a doubleheader sweep of the Expos, 4 - 1 and 4 - 2. Jerry Grote has three doubles in the opener, and Bud Harrelson knocks in three runs in the nightcap. Nolan Ryan (7-4) and Danny Frisella (4-1) are winners.

1977At Old-Timers Day in Chicago, the Cubs score four in the 9th inning to edge the Mets, 5 - 4. Larry Biittner doubles in two runs, and Bill Buckner's wind-blown fly eludes two outfielders for a third double in the frame. With the sacks full, Manny Trillo hits a grounder to third base and beats out the attempted double play for the winner.

1987 - Dwight Gooden (4-1) and the Mets top the Cubs, 8 - 2. For Doc, it is his 10th straight win over Chicago. He'll lose his next decision to them on August 9, then roll off another 12 straight wins.

1992 - Chicago's Greg Maddux and New York's Vince Coleman almost get into a fight, but Maddux takes it out on the Mets by striking out 10 in a 3 - 1 Chicago win. 

1993: The Mets tie an 86-year-old record when they lose to the Cardinals, 8 - 5. They have not won two straight games for the 61st consecutive time.

2013The White Sox hold a 4 - 3 lead over the Mets with two outs in the 9th inning, but manage to blow it in the most embarrassing fashion, after Daniel Murphy hits a routine pop-up in front of the mound. 2B Gordon Beckham comes charging in, trips on P Addison Reed's foot and falls to the ground, in the process bowling over 3B Conor Gillaspie, who is positioned under the ball. The ball drops to the ground and rolls away from Reed while David Wright takes advantage of the confusion to score all the way from second base and tie the game. Luckily, the Sox manage to score a run off LaTroy Hawkins in the bottom of the inning to escape with a 5 - 4 win and save a little face.
