Nimmo Ties Mets RBI Record in 19-5 Rout

Brandon Nimmo tied the New York Mets’ single-game RBI record with nine, matching Carlos Delgado’s 2008 mark, in a 19-5 rout of the Washington Nationals. Nimmo went 4-for-6 with a three-run homer, a grand slam, and a two-run double, becoming the first MLB player since Shohei Ohtani to record at least nine RBIs in a game. The Mets collected a season-high 21 hits, with Jeff McNeil homering and tripling and Mark Vientos adding a three-run homer. Mets starter Griffin Canning pitched five shutout innings. The win gave the Mets a split in the four-game series and improved their record to an NL-best 20-9. After two walk-off losses earlier in the series, the Mets rebounded as they head home to face the Diamondbacks.
