Carson Benge Sets New Mets Single-Season Rookie Hit Record With 156th

New York Mets rookie outfielder Carson Benge set a franchise single-season rookie record with his 156th hit in a 10-3 win over the Phillies, passing Pete Alonso's 2019 mark. Benge went 3-for-4 with a home run, his 19th of the year, a walk, and two RBI. Over 149 games, the 23-year-old is slashing .276/.339/.420, rebounding strongly from an early-season slump that saw him hit .189 in April. Interim manager Andy Green praised his resilient approach, saying there is no clean way to get him out.
