• Luis Guillorme: Smacked a pinch-hit, walk-off RBI double in the 10th for his first career walk-off RBI and hit...Was the first walk-off RBI by a Mets pinch-hitter since Patrick Mazeika had two pinch-hit, walk-off fielder's choices on May 7 and 11 2021. 

• Max Scherzer (7.0 IP, H, 3 BB, 6 K): Was his seventh career start of 7.0 or more innings and one or zero hits allowed (Last: April 19, 2022, 7.0 IP, one hit)... Allowed two hits and threw 10.0 shutout innings in two starts against the Dodgers this season...Has a 2.36 ERA (9 ER/34.1 IP) in six home starts this season.
