| 1963 | In the Bronx, the Yankees and Mets participate in their first Mayor's Trophy Game, with former Bronx Bomber skipper Casey Stengel employing his best pitchers, Jay Hook (5) and Carl Willey (4), to defeat the reigning World Champions in the exhibition contest, 6-2. An enthusiastic crowd of 50,742, mostly National League fans, sees many of their banners supporting the expansion club confiscated upon entering The House That Ruth Built. |
| 1967 | Allowing only a second-inning double to Tommy Davis, Larry Jackson tosses a one-hitter, blanking the Mets at Connie Mack Stadium, 4-0. The win marks the right-hander's eighteenth consecutive victory over New York, starting with the first game the 1962 expansion team ever played, a streak that will end on August 14 with an 8-3 loss. |
| 2022 | On Father’s Day, Jerar Encarnación becomes the seventh major leaguer to blast a grand slam for his first hit when he goes deep off Mets’ reliever Seth Lugo in the seventh inning, giving Miami a 4-1 lead at Citi Field. The 24-year-old rookie outfielder from the Dominican Republic is the second Marlin to accomplish the rare feat, joining Jeremy Hermida, who went deep with the bases full on the third pitch he saw in the bigs in 2005. |
