Brian Joura Mets360: "Mark Vientos, who was robbed of a home run earlier in the game, hit a grand slam homer to give the Mets a 5-1 lead in the fifth inning. But the Padres came back to score five runs in the bottom of the frame to go up, 6-5"

Mark Sanchez NY Post: Mets waste young stars’ homer heroics in wild loss to Padres that snaps win streak. "Frankie Montas and Huascar Brazobán imploded to flush a four-run lead in the fifth inning. Ronny Mauricio launched a game-tying homer that forced the Padres to take their turn at bat in the ninth inning, which is when the most dramatic moments of a dramatic night unfolded."

Laura Albanese Newsday: "But Gregory Soto let up a leadoff single to Xander Bogaerts in the bottom of the inning, and former Met Jose Iglesias laid down a sacrifice bunt but Soto, who would have gotten Bogaerts at second, threw wide of the bag so that both runners were safe. Jake Cronenworth bunted, and this time Soto succeeded in getting the runner at third. Then, with two outs, Elias Diaz singled to left to score Iglesias, because of course it was Iglesias who scored."

Transactions:

New York Mets traded Jacke Davis to the St. Louis Cardinals for Duke Carmel on July 29, 1963.

New York Mets traded Jeff Kent and Jose Vizcaino to the Cleveland Indians for Carlos Baerga and Alvaro Espinoza on July 29, 1996.

New York Mets traded Rey Sanchez to the Seattle Mariners for Kenny Kelly on July 29, 2003.

New York Mets traded Jason Vargas to the Philadelphia Phillies for Austin Bossart on July 29, 2019.


1944
Annabelle Lee, the aunt of future major leaguer Bill Lee, pitches the first of five perfect games in the 12-year history of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. The Minneapolis Millerettes southpaw knuckleballer, who will toss a no-hitter for the Fort Wayne Daisies precisely one year from this date, doesn't allow any batters to reach first base in the 18-0 rout of the Kenosha (WI) Comets.
1996
The Mets deal Jeff Kent along with Jose Vizcaino to the Indians for Carlos Baerga and Alvaro Espinoza. The trade, considered to be one of the worst in franchise history, will be a bust for New York when Baerga hits only .267 in three non-productive seasons in the Big Apple, and Kent goes on to win an MVP award and posts Hall of Fame numbers for a second baseman during his 17-year tenure in the major leagues.

2000
Recently acquired Mets make good first impressions as Mike Bordick goes 2-for-3, including a homer on the first pitch he sees as a Met, and Rick White pitches a scoreless inning to get the win; the other newcomer, Bubba Trammell, will homer in his first at-bat in his Met debut tomorrow.
2004
In a 10-1 victory over the Expos, Eric Valent becomes the eighth player in franchise history to hit for the cycle. After singling in the second, doubling in the third, and homering in the fifth, the Mets' utility player triples in the seventh to join Phillies David Bell, Pirates Daryle Ward, and Chad Moeller of the Brewers to accomplish the feat this season.

2006
Julio Franco became the oldest player ever to pinch run when he takes Carlos Delgado's place on the basepaths after the Mets' infielder is hit by a pitch in the fourth inning. The 47 year-old pinch-runner, who will stay in the game to play first, steals second base and will advance to third on the catcher's error in the Mets' 11-4 win over Atlanta at Turner Field.
2008
In a 4-1 win over the Marlins at Dolphin Stadium, Mets third baseman David Wright scores in his 13th consecutive game, establishing a new franchise record. Teammate Carlos Beltran had set the previous team mark in 2006.
