Carson Benge’s 2-Run Blast Seals a 4-2 Mets Win over the Padres
Benge’s 15th homer made him the first Mets rookie with 15 homers and 15 steals since Darryl Strawberry in 1983.
- On Wednesday, rookie outfielder Carson Benge hit a two-run home run to spark the New York Mets' 4-2 victory over the San Diego Padres in front of 26,195 fans at Citi Field.
- With his 15th home run, Benge became the first Mets rookie to collect at least 15 homers and 15 stolen bases since Darryl Strawberry, the former right fielder who achieved the feat in 1983.
- Interim manager Andy Green praised Benge's poise, saying, "He has fun and there's something special about a kid that can handle what the world sees as a lot of pressure." Benge maintains a 109 OPS+ for the season.
- The Mets' bullpen held the Padres to one hit between the fifth and eighth innings, securing their 11th win in the last 15 games since the trade deadline.
- New York is off Thursday before LHP Sean Manaea faces the Central-leading Chicago White Sox, as Benge continues to show progress during the 2026 campaign despite the team's difficult season.
