AutoDraft Pro AI

Mets rookie Carson Benge made MLB history during Monday's 2-1 win over the San Diego Padres. Playing right field, Benge was credited with throwing out two runners at home plate in the first inning. Alongside teammate A.J. Ewing, the duo combined for three outfield assists in the first two innings, a defensive feat not seen in at least 106 years. Benge's arm provided critical defensive support to help the Mets secure a narrow victory and preserve Nolan McLean's win.
