Mets young players shine in extra-inning showdown against Padres

The New York Mets faced the San Diego Padres on June 7, 2026, in a gripping extra-inning game at Petco Park. The Mets played their 12th extra-inning game of the season, tying a franchise record, yet they managed only two hits over ten innings. In contrast, Jared Young hit a memorable 424-foot home run, marking the longest homer by a Met at T-Mobile Park since 2015. The team is in a playoff race and needs consistent performances from its young roster, like Carson Benge, who had his first multi-homer game. Amid this struggle, the Mets are tied with the Braves for the most games with multiple hits over 100 mph.
