Mets Morning News: Carson Benge becomes first Mets rookie to go 20-20

During a 7-6 defeat to the Washington Nationals, New York Mets right fielder Carson Benge achieved a historic milestone by hitting his twentieth home run, establishing himself as the first rookie in franchise history to complete a twenty-home run and twenty-stolen base campaign. Despite this individual accomplishment, the team's defensive struggles in the third frame—highlighted by four wild pitches that surrendered multiple scores—combined with the final outcome confirmed a last-place finish in the division standings.

Ahead of the contest, the roster made several adjustments by promoting pitcher Justin Hagenman, optioning Jack Weisenburger, and outrighting Xzavion Curry to the FCL Mets after he cleared waivers. Furthermore, manager Andy Green addressed the disappointing trajectory of the club while Francisco Lindor expressed gratitude for being named a finalist for the Roberto Clemente Award for a fourth consecutive year.
