--1B Carlos Delgado's two-homer game allowed him to pass Dave Winfield for 30th on the all-time list with 466. Delgado also tied Dave Kingman's 1976 franchise record for multi-homer games in a season with seven.
--CF Carlos Beltran's sixth-inning two-run home run against Washington gave him 100 RBI, joining 1B Carlos Delgado and 3B David Wright at that plateau. It's the third time in franchise history the Mets have had three 100-RBI players in a season. The same trio did it in 2006, while Mike Piazza, Edgardo Alfonzo and Robin Ventura all reached that total in 1999. --LHP Billy Wagner is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery on Wednesday, with a knee ligament transferred to his left elbow. The 37-year-old Wagner declared he would pitch again in the majors, even if he has to wait until 2010. He noted that he had been counted out before as someone who grew up in a town of 360 and who stands 5-foot-9 and attended a Division III college.
--RHP Ambiorix Burgos was arrested around 11 p.m. Monday after allegedly slamming his girlfriend against a wall at a Holiday Inn near Shea Stadium, the New York Daily News reported. Burgos has not pitched in the majors since Tommy John surgery in August 2007.
--RHP John Maine could be a reliever in the postseason, interim manager Jerry Manuel said. Maine needs winter surgery to remove a bone spur behind his right shoulder and won't be cleared to pick up a baseball until next week.
BY THE NUMBERS: 281 -- Steals by Mookie Wilson in his Mets career. SS Jose Reyes matched that franchise-record mark Sept. 3 in Milwaukee.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "It was good. I'm starting to get the stroke back. It's been a hectic year. I don't want to throw this last month away. I want to build on things, try to get back to how I was in the first half and finish strong." -- RF Ryan Church, whose grand slam Sept. 3 in Milwaukee was his first home run since June 1, before a seven-week absence to deal with post-concussion symptoms.
