1962

Rod Kanehl, appearing as a pinch-hitter, hits the first grand slam in Mets history, going deep off Bobby Shantz in the eighth inning of the team's 10-3 victory over the Cardinals at the Polo Grounds. The bases loaded round-tripper comes in the 79th game of the franchise's existence.

1962

In a rare Mets victory, Gil Hodges goes deep off Redbird hurler Ray Sadecki for his 370th and final home run of his career, finishing tenth on the all-time list and with the most round-trippers ever hit by a right-handed batter in the National League. In attendance at the Polo Grounds contest is eight year-old Howie Rose, the future Mets radio voice watching his first major league game, and Ralph Kiner, the play-by-play announcer for the expansion team, who will have the quiet first baseman on his postgame show, Kiner Korner, reminding his guest that the right-handed NL home run mark had been established by him in 1954.

2004

Recently acquired outfielder Richard Hidalgo establishes a club record, homering in five straight games for the Mets. In 16 games with New York, the former Astro has eight home runs, compared to hitting just four with Houston in 56 games.

Baseball Reference:

1970Tommie Agee hits for the cycle to pace the Mets to a 10 - 3 win over the CardinalsJim McAndrew is the winning pitcher.

1976 - Houston's J.R. Richard allows 10 walks but no runs in shutting out the Mets, 1 - 0, in 10 innings. Starter Jon Matlack is the losing pitcher.

2004 - Recently-acquired outfielder Richard Hidalgo establishes a club record homering in five straight games for the Mets. In 16 games with New York, the former Astro has eight home runs compared to just four he hit with Houston in 56 games.

2010: Johan Santana provides his own run support, banging the first homer of his career in a three-hit shutout of the Cincinnati Reds, 3 - 0. The Mets' ace connects off Matt Maloney for a solo shot that opens the scoring in the 3rd.
