From the Mets 2 Nationals 1 Post Game Notes - 9/16/2024


Mets: 
  • Earned their 11th walk-off win of the season, tied with San Francisco for the most such wins in the majors...Are tied for the third-most such wins in a single season in franchise history (Also: 1963, 2006 and 2021).
  • Move to 8-8 in extra inning games. 
  • They are now 24-19 against the NL East this season and 9-2 against Washington. 
  • Are 26-16 in one-run games this season.
  • Hit a walk-off single in the 10th inning to give the Mets a 2-1 win...Was his 11th career walk-off RBI and his first of the season (Last. 7/27/22 vs. Yankees).
  • Singled home a run in the eighth inning to tie the game at 1-1.
  • Singled in the fourth inning to extend his hitting streak to 10 games...Is his longest hitting streak since September 12 - 26, 2021 when he hit safely in 12 straight games with Boston.
  • Has a 2.69 ERA (33 ER/11.0.1 IP) over his last 18 starts dating back to June 14...Has held opposing batters to a .173 (67-387) batting average during that span...Has allowed three runs or fewer in 16 of those starts.
  • Has pitched 6.0 or more innings in seven straight starts, tied for the longest such streak of his career (Also: 4/30/22 - 6/8/22). 
  • Has now completed 7.0 or more innings eight times this season...All eight of those starts have come since July 2, the most such starts in the majors during that span...That is the second-most 7.0 IP+ starts he’s recorded in a single-season in his career...He had nine such starts in 2018 with Oakland. 
Brian Joura Mets360: "Starling Marte had a chance when he came up as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning with a runner on third base but he grounded out. He had another chance in the 10th inning and delivered the game-winning hit, sending the Mets to a 2-1 victory over the Nationals. With the Braves’ loss – losing to the Dodgers 9-0 in the eighth inning as this is being written – the Mets move into sole possession of the third Wild Card spot.

Laura Albanese Newsday: Mets beat Nationals on Starling Marte's walk-off hit in 10th, move a game ahead of Atlanta for final wild-card spot. "Francisco Lindor has carried so much of this Mets season on his back — metaphorically and, given his recent injury, literally. On Monday, as the Mets faced the reality of playing a chunk of this pivotal stretch run without their team MVP, it was time for his teammates to return the favor."

NY Post: Starling Marte plays hero in extras as Mets escape with walk-off win over Nationals. "With Francisco Lindor’s lower back still aching — but maybe not as much as the Mets lineup — Marte smacked a walk-off RBI single that gave his team a 2-1 victory over the Nationals at Citi Field. The Mets, who snapped a two-game skid, have scored only three runs over their last 24 innings since Saturday."

1975

Mets right-fielder Rusty Staub, in a 5-2 loss to Chicago at Shea Stadium, homers off Ray Burris in the fourth frame for his 98th RBI of the season, establishing a new team record. 'Le Grand Orange' surpasses the franchise mark set by Donn Clendenon in 1970.

1977

Yankees DH Dave Kingman, with a third-inning round-tripper off Jim Crawford at Tiger Stadium, becomes the first player to homer for four different teams in one season. The much-traveled veteran will hit a total of 26 home runs this year playing for the Mets (9), Padres (11), Angels (2), and the Bronx Bombers (4).

1982

In the bottom of the seventh at Shea Stadium, Dave Kingman knots the score at 2-2 against the Redbirds when he hits the final homer of his league-leading season total of 37. The 33 year-old Mets slugger will finish the season hitting just .204, the lowest batting average ever for a player who wins a home run crown.

1984

Mets rookie Dwight Gooden ties a major league record shared by Luis Tiant (1968 Indians) and Nolan Ryan (1974 Angels) with a total of 32 strikeouts in two consecutive games. The 19 year-old Dr. K, who strikes out 16 Phillies in the team's 2-1 loss at Veterans Stadium, also fanned sixteen Buc batters in his last start, a 2-0 complete-game victory at Shea Stadium.

2016

Mets outfielder Curtis Granderson hits two extra-inning home runs in the same game, giving the team a 3-2 victory over the Twins at Citi Field. The Grandy Man ties the game leading off in the 11th inning and then hits a two-out solo homer, the club's 201st home run to set a franchise mark, in the following frame to end the game.



1986 - The Mets clinch the National League East title with a 4 - 2 win over the Cubs at Shea Stadium as Dwight Gooden tosses a six-hitter. The Mets will win 108 games this season, most in the National League since the 1975 Reds.
