  • Hit a two-run home run in the first inning to give the Mets a 2-0 lead...This extended his home hitting streak to 16 games and he is hitting .361 (22-61) over that time span with 13 extra base hits...Is the longest home hitting streak by a Met since 2019 when Wilson Ramos hit safely in 17 straight home games (7/28 - 9/6).
  • Has hit safely in eight of his last nine games, including his last six and is batting .405/.425/.730 during that span.

Sean Manaea

  • Completed 6.2 innings tonight and now has pitched the most innings in the majors since July 1 with 81.0 innings...Has a 3.00 ERA (27 ER/81.0 IP) during that span...Was the seventh time in his last eight starts that he has pitched at least 6.2 innings.

Jeff McNeil

  • Left tonight’s game with a right wrist contusion...Will undergo testing tomorrow.

Francisco Lindor

  • Singled in the first inning to extend his hitting streak to a career-high 16 games and his career-high on-base streak to 34 games...His on-base streak is tied with Pete Alonso (8/2/19 - 9/9/18) for the longest by a Met spanning a single season and for the fourth-longest ever in franchise history...His hitting streak is the longest by a Met since Jeff McNeil hit safely in 16 games from July 1 - July 30, 2021.

NY Post: Mark Vientos crushes walk-off homer to send Mets to thrilling eighth win in a row. "Vientos culminated an eight-pitch plate appearance leading off the 10th with a blast over the left-field fence on a 97-mph fastball from lefty Justin Wilson...Vientos smashed a two-run homer in the first inning that gave the Mets a 2-0 lead."

Brian Joura Mets360: "The final line for Manaea of 6.2 IP and 4 ER is not great. But it’s not necessarily indicative of how he pitched. He allowed just three hits and struck out nine. It’s just the gopher balls with men on base – both reached via walks – that did him in."
