Andy Pages has 53 RBI, CJ Abrams has 51, Oneil Cruz has 44, Bryce Harper has 37, Ian Happ has 34, and Max Muncy has 22. They have all hit 14 homers.

The Mets are 7-5 in extra-inning games this season. That’s the most overtime games of any team. The Dodgers still haven’t played one.

Bryson Stott is 9-9 when attempting to steal second and 2-2 in third base thefts. It’s unfortunate that with that ability of the 89 eligible batters, Stott’s OBP is .275, 84th in the majors.

Speaking of OBP misery: Manny Machado entered this season with a lifetime .338 OBP; it’s down to .335 now. This season, his OBP is .250, better than only Mark Vientos, who has an OBP of .248. Machado’s .166 BA is the worst in baseball.

Fernando Tatis Jr. is homering at a rate of 1 every 242 AB. His lifetime rate is now one every 18.59 AB.
