Mets broke out the bats, and the W went to Tylor "How to be Annoying with an 8-run Lead" Megill, who barely made it through five innings, despite no-hitting the Crockies through four. (And don't get me started on Blackbum)

I'm not so sure Squirrel McNeil will wanna come home with the team after finally starting his season with three homers in this series.

But the bigger news is that Pete bonked one out in the third inning, the 242nd of his career, and he tied Captain David for 2nd all-time on the Mets with it! And also Dusty Baker, Sal Bando, Wally Berger, J.D. Drew, Aubrey Huff, and Kyle "Least Resented Seager" Seager for 270th all-time.

...and then un-tied himself from the whole bunch with another thumper to left in the eighth inning! That didn't advance him further up the list, as 243 homers was nobody's career total on Sunday morning.

9 more to Straw for the Mets franchise record (but 92 on the all-time leaderboard). Tying Straw would also put Pete into the top 250 all-time (assuming he does it with any sort of urgency).
