On April 23, 1962, the expansion New York Mets win their first game-after nine consecutive losses. Right-hander Jay Hook earns a 9-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates at Forbes Field. The Metsâ 0-9 start had tied a National League record for futility.
The victory also snaps Pittsburghâs record-tying winning streak of 10 games from the start of the season without a loss.
