Mets Notes
- Prior to the game, Max Scherzer was reinstated from the 15-Day IL and Tylor Megill was reinstated from the 60-Day IL. RHP Stephen Nogosek and LHP Alex Claudio were optioned to Triple-A Syracuse.
- The Mets' magic number to clinch a playoff spot is two (any combination of one win for them and one loss for the Brewers), which means one Mets victory during this series would punch the their ticket to the postseason
- The Mets set a franchise record and tied a major-league for most strikeouts in a nine-inning game with 20 strikeouts. They became the ninth team in major league history to have 20 strikeouts in a nine-inning game, also accomplished by Houston this season
- The Mets are 21-9 against the NL Central this year. They are in a stretch of 10 straight games (4-3) against the division
- Their next road victory would be their highest total since they went 47-34 in 2007. Their .597 road winning percentage is the third-best in franchise history, only the 1986 (.654) and 1969 (.600) teams have better winning percentages on the road. Their .597 road winning percentage is third-best in MLB and second-best in the NL
