“Unleashing the Unexpected: Jesse Winker’s Electrifying Triple Threat Sparks Mets’ Victory Over Blue Jays!”
“Initially, I thought it had a chance to get out — I probably should have been running harder out of the box,” Winker said. “But once it ricocheted, I just wanted to run as fast as I could.”
Winker also tripled with two outs in the fourth off Chris Bassitt, but was stranded when Mark Vientos struck out. The two-triple game was the first by a Mets player since Francisco Lindor did so on July 26, 2023.
Still, Winker joined a select club by becoming the 17th player in team history with two triples in a game. Reyes holds the team record with 113 triples and eight two-triple games. Johnson, whose 21 triples in 1996 are the single-season team record, and Doug Flynn are the only other Mets players with a pair of two-triple games.
