MONDAY
Carson Benge’s 436-foot homer off Tomoyuki Sugano is the Mets’ longest homer of the season thus far.
The Mets only recorded four hits at Coors Field in their win. It was just the Mets’ third nine-inning game at Coors Field in which they’ve mustered four hits or fewer, with the other two both coming in 2008.
WEDNESDAY
The Mets saw six different players record multi-hit performances for the first time since September 2, 2025 in Detroit. Brett Baty is the only player who contributed multiple hits
to both games, and only one of the other players with multiple hits on Wednesday (Francisco Alvarez) was on the 2025 Mets at all.
Marcus Semien recorded 4 hits including a home run, becoming the first Mets second baseman to do so since Javier Báez in Washington on September 5, 2021.
Freddy Peralta became the ninth Met to put up a scoreless start of at least five innings at Coors Field. Only one Met, Mike Pelfrey, did it twice (June 22, 2008 and April 15, 2010).
The Mets won their seventh consecutive game at Coors Field, a streak dating back to August 7, 2024. The Mets have also won six of their last seven series at Coors Field, dating back to 2019.
The Mets scored 10+ runs on 15+ hits at Coors Field for the fifth time since 2015. That’s tied for the most such games the Mets have had at any road ballpark in that span, matching their total at Citizens Bank Park and Truist Field.
THURSDAY
Christian Scott generated eight whiffs on his four-seam fastball, tying a pair of Freddy Peralta outings for the most whiffs via four-seam fastball by a Met in a game this season.
The Mets surrendered their fourth grand slam of the season when Jake McCarthy took Craig Kimbrel deep. That’s the most any MLB team has allowed so far this season.
It was also the third grand slam the Mets have given up in the eighth inning this season. Since 1969, only one MLB team has given up more eighth-inning grand slams in a single season: the 2024 Mets, who gave up 4. In the past three seasons, the Mets have now given up a fitting total of eight eighth-inning grand slams. No other MLB team has allowed more than three in that span.
FRIDAY
THE WEEKLY MCLEAN UPDATE: Nolan McLean now has a 2.41 ERA and 114 strikeouts through his first 16 career games. The only other pitchers with that low an ERA and that many strikeouts through their first 16 games are: Hideo Nomo (2.10 ERA, 139 K), Matt Harvey (2.26 ERA, 116 K), Masahiro Tanaka (2.10 ERA, 127 K), and Paul Skenes (2.30 ERA, 121 K).
The Mets played their seventh extra-inning game of the season. The Pirates (7) are the only other team to have played that many extra-inning games this year.
The Mets won their seventh straight series opener at Chase Field, a streak dating back to May 31, 2019.
SATURDAY
Clay Holmes allowed two runs or fewer for the eighth straight start this year, overtaking Nolan Ryan (7 starts in 1971) and Johan Santana (7 starts in 2009) for the most consecutive starts allowing two runs or fewer to begin a season in Mets history. (source: MLB.com)
The Mets lost while hitting four balls with an exit velocity of 105 mph or higher for outs. This was their second loss of the season in which they hit four balls for outs at 105+ mph, and no other National League team has more than one such loss.
SUNDAY
Since April 23, Carson Benge has 15 hits, a .352 OBP, and a .500 SLG. All 3 of those marks lead the Mets’ offense during that span.
Eduardo Rodríguez racked up his second start of at least six innings pitched without allowing more than one run against the Mets this season. The only player to have multiple starts of that variety against the Mets in 2025 was Rodríguez’s teammate, Zac Gallen.
The Mets recorded five hits or fewer for the 13th time this season, tying them with the Reds for the most such games in 2026. The 1963 Mets are the only team in franchise history with more games of five hits or fewer (14) through their first 40 games of a season.
The Mets scored two runs or fewer through nine innings for the 21st time this season, leading MLB in 2026 and tying an unfortunate franchise mark set by the 1967 Mets for the most such performances through 40 games of a season.
Miscellaneous Mets stat of the week:
The last Mets player to steal three bases in a game was Juan Lagares, who did so on September 7, 2014 in Cincinnati. Four of the first six batters in the Reds’ lineup that day would go on to play for the Mets in the following six seasons: Billy Hamilton, Todd Frazier, Devin Mesoraco, and Jay Bruce.
No Met has stolen three bases in a game yet at Citi Field. But Jon Berti has done it on three separate occasions.
