Brian Joura Mets360: "The first four hitters for the Mets each smoked an extra-base hit, capped off by Pete Alonso’s massive home run, to stake David Peterson to a 4-0 lead and an eventual 9-1 Mets win over the Rockies Thursday afternoon in Denver. The victory, combined with a Braves loss earlier in the day, vaulted the Mets into second place in the National League East."


Mike Puma NY Post: Pete Alonso slugs two home runs as Mets pummel Rockies to win series. "Alonso homered in the first and third innings, and Mark Vientos contributed a blast in the fifth to provide David Peterson, who grew up in nearby Aurora, Colo., plenty of support in his homecoming game."


Mike Puma NY Post: Mets’ David Peterson delivers strong outing in hometown Colorado. "David Peterson had attended many games at Coors Field growing up but had never received the opportunity to pitch here. The Aurora, Colo., native finally got his chance Thursday and gave the Mets five solid innings in their 9-1 victory over the Rockies."

NY Post:

  • White Sox’s historic losing splits feelings among inaugural Mets. "The nine living 1962 Mets have witnessed teams occasionally threaten their unwanted record, but the 2024 White Sox, having already posted losing streaks of 14 and 21 games and on pace to lose 123, provide the most serious hope in decades that our bumbling and beloved ’62 Mets will no longer carry the mantle of history’s worst team."

New York Mets traded Jay Bruce to the Cleveland Indians for Ryder Ryan on August 9, 2017.

New York Mets signed free agent Joe Panik on August 9, 2019.

Baseball Register:

1964 - Phillies P Jim Bunning, who pitched a no-hitter in his last start against the Mets, throws another five innings of hitless ball against New York before Joe Christopher beats out a 2-out bunt. Bunning wins the game, 6 - 0.

1970 - At Three Rivers Stadium, Willie Stargell hits an 8th-inning homer into the 70-foot high right field upper deck, the first player to hit one up there. The pitch is served up by Mets reliever Ron Taylor. The next two hit up there will also be by Stargell, who will hit four of the first 7; Bob Robertson, Phillie Greg Luzinski, and Bobby Bonilla, in 1987, will also reach the seats. The Pirates win, 8 - 3. Nolan Ryan is the loser, allowing four runs in six innings, allowing three hits, walking seven and striking out 10.

1975 - Davey Lopes steals his 32nd consecutive base without being caught for the Dodgers in a 2 - 0 win over the Mets. This breaks the major-league record set by Max Carey in 1922.

1987: With help from Lee Smith, Scott Sanderson beats the Mets, 6 - 3, at Shea Stadium. The loser is Doc Gooden, who snaps his 10-game winning streak against the Cubs. He'll start another streak of 12 wins.

1988 - The Cubs play their first-ever official night game at Wrigley Field defeating the Mets, 6 - 4. Last night's attempt to play a night game was rained out after four innings

2012 - R.A. Dickey pitches a complete game for his 15th win of the year as the Mets end a 9-game home losing streak by defeating the Marlins, 6 - 1. Jose Reyes's hitting streak, the longest in the majors this year at 26 games, is stopped as well as he goes 0 for 4 for Miami; for the Mets, Andres Torres has a double, a triple and a homer.
