Francisco Lindor on his go-ahead hit in the 9th:
— SNY (@SNYtv) August 8, 2024
"I got a hit first at-bat, then I was 0-for-3. I didn't want to go home with an 0-for-4. Being able to drive in runs. It seems like every time you hit a ball to [Ryan] McMahon, it's an out" pic.twitter.com/mzIgna4t1v
Francisco Lindor was asked if he or Francisco Alvarez will finish the season with more triples:

Also, chalk up Blackburn as another member of the Alvarez fan club. Raved about "Alvy" for his pitch-calling, enthusiasm, energy. Referenced him multiple times in post-game interview; impressed with "how much he's thinking pitch to pitch out there." https://t.co/wmVQMmsSkV

- Omar De Los Santos (1999)
Transactions:
New York Mets traded Frank Lary to the Milwaukee Braves for Dennis Ribant on August 8, 1964.

1970 | Five years after the Mets bestow the honor to their first skipper, the Yankees retire Casey Stengel's uniform #37 during Old Timers Day at the Stadium. The 'Old Perfessor,' who won seven World Series during his twelve-year tenure with the team, managed the Bronx Bombers from 1949 to 1960. |
2014 | Bartolo Colon joins Juan Marichal and Pedro Martinez in becoming the third hurler from the Dominican Republic to win 200 major league games.

1965: In New York‚ the Cubs score 6 runs in the 9th inning to whip the Mets‚ 14 - 10. Chris Krug is not much help in the 9th‚ as the Cubbie strikes out twice. It's the first time since 1922 a Cub has K'ed twice in one inning.
1984 The Cubs tighten their grip on first place in the NL East with a 7 - 6 win over the Mets at Wrigley Field‚ completing a four-game series sweep. Keith Moreland leads the way with 3 hits and 4 RBIs. Hubie Brooks is 4 for 4 with 4 runs for New York. Davey Johnson gets tossed in the 7th after Bob Dernier gets hit by a pitch‚ a continuation of yesterday's beanballing. Cubs manager Jim Frey follows Johnson in the 9th when Lee Smith throws behind George Foster.
1985: Keith Hernandez has 5 hits in the Mets' 20-hit attack as they beat the Expos‚ 14 - 7. Rick Aguilera is the winner.
2004: The Cardinals defeat the Mets‚ 6 - 2‚ as Edgar Renteria gets 5 hits for St. Louis.
