New York Mets signed free agent Ron Swoboda on September 5, 1963

National Pastime.com

1969

Tom Seaver becomes the first pitcher in franchise history to win 20 games in one season when the Mets beat the Phillies at Shea Stadium, 5-1. 'Tom Terrific,' who will finish the season with a 25-7 record for the world champs, tosses a five-hit, complete game to reach the milestone.

1976

Phillies right-hander Larry Christenson's two home runs prove to be the difference in his 3 - 1 victory over the Mets at Shea Stadium. New York starter Mickey Lolich, who gives both homers to the opposing pitcher, is tagged with the loss.

 

1980

George Bamberger (235-180, .556) announces he will step down as the Brewers skipper after tomorrow's game after spending 2+ seasons with Milwaukee. 'Bambi,' who will return in 1985 after a two-year stint with the Mets, is replaced in the dugout by Buck Rodgers.

1999

In the 6000th regular-season game in franchise history, the Mets score all their runs in the fifth inning to beat Colorado at Shea Stadium, 6-2. The victory brings New York's overall record to 2826-3166 (.472) with eight ties, but the team falls just one game shy of breaking even in their last 1000 games.

 

2015

Mets right-hander Bartolo Colon, extending his streak to 22 consecutive scoreless innings, shuts out Miami, 6-0. The 42-year-old Dominican hurler’s performance will be best remembered for his behind-the-back flip, throwing out Justin Bour in the sixth inning of the Marlins Park contest.


Baseball Reference:

1975: Mets C Jerry Grote ties the modern major-league record by reaching base on errors three times during a 5 - 2 win over the Cardinals.

 1976 - Phillies pitcher Larry Christenson belts two homers and pitches a 3 - 1 win over the MetsMickey Lolich is the losing pitcher. 

1990 - The Pirates beat the Mets, 1 - 0 and 3 - 1, to open a 2 1/2 game lead over New York in the National League EastZane Smith pitches a one-hitter in the opener for the Bucs, who have swept all five of their doubleheaders this season. 

2007 - The Reds beat the Mets, 7 - 0. Brandon Phillips hits his 28th home run of the year, coming in the 1st inning against John Maine with Alex Gonzalez aboard. This gives him the record for a Cincinnati Reds second baseman, surpassing Joe Morgan's 27 in 1976. In his third major league start, Tom Shearn tosses six scoreless frames for the win, while Reds 1B Joey Votto homers in his first major league start. 

2012: Gio Gonzalez wins his 18th game of the year when the Nationals hit six homers for a second consecutive game, although he does not need such generosity, hurling 7 scoreless innings. The Nats beat the Cubs, 9 - 1. The Mets' R.A. Dickey also picks up his 18th win in beating the Cardinals, 6 -2. The two pitchers are tied for the major league lead in wins.
