Tom Seaver Fan Club

This was a big game against a pitcher we should have beat. The bats and Kris Benson really came through as the Mets hammered the now tied for the division leaders. The two hot bats had big games, with Cameron going three for five with two doubles and three RBIs. David Wright was two for four with two RBIs, and Jose Reyes tripled twice and drove in three.

Jose Reyes has more triples (7) then walks (6). I’ll have to check if a qualifying hitter has ever finished the season that way.

Kris Benson pitched pretty well, going six innings. He gave up five hits and three runs.

The Nationals lost, so with a win and a Washington loss the Mets can creep back up into the three spot. There’s still a lot of baseball to play, and the Mets have to just keep on winning.
