Beltran’s blast ties 3 marks
Last night, the centerfielder hit his 41st homer, a solo shot in the sixth inning of the Mets’ 7-4 victory, which allowed him to tie three club records.
The homer into the lower deck in right tied Todd Hundley’s single-season record set in 1996. It gave him 80 extra-base hits, matching Howard Johnson’s mark set in 1989. And the homer produced Beltran’s 123rd run, equaling Edgardo Alfonzo’s 1999 record. - Newsday
