July 7, 2007 turned out to be a lucky day after all, at least for the Mets, Angels, and Tigers. All three won games in the thirteenth inning or later, the Mets on a Carlos beltran go-ahead single in the seventeenth, the Angels on a pair of Miguel Cairo errors (two of the Yankees five on the day) in the thirteenth, and the Tigers on a Pudge Rodriguez walk-off hit.

The three games marked just the fifth time in baseball history that three games have gone at least 13 innings and the first time in 27 years. The last time it happened was July 13, 1980 (the ides of July?) and the only other times it happened was June 15, 1910, June 16, 1921 and April 12, 1966.

Here are the scores for all of these games:

Oh, and the Yankees' five errors are far from a record but represent just the ninth five-error game in the last ten years. Here are the rest:

By the way, the most errors I could find were nine by the Cubs on May 5, 1911 against the Reds in a 13-2 loss. I know there are nineteenth century games with more but Retrosheet does not have a record of them.
