last night's win

Balanced, and not in the fun way. Took last night by 7. That matters. Tempering that, the 2-5 record this week is doing most of the damage.

Mets News

Carson Benge made history on Saturday, breaking Pete Alonso's rookie hit record with a remarkable three-hit performance in the Mets' 10-3 victory over the Phillies. This young outfielder's emergence is a bright spot in a season that has often been overshadowed by disappointment. Just before the game, the franchise honored Carlos Beltrán by retiring his No. 15, a fitting tribute that the team responded to with a win that showcased their potential. Yet, the Mets' recent struggles are hard to ignore, especially with Jared Young hitting the 7-day IL due to a concussion. As the team looks to build on this momentum, they need more of Benge's spark and less of the injury woes that have dogged them this season.
