Mets' Nimmo Ties Franchise Record with 9 RBIs vs. Nationals

Brandon Nimmo tied a New York Mets franchise record with nine RBIs in a single game during a 19-5 win over the Washington Nationals, matching Carlos Delgado's 2008 mark. Nimmo's outburst included a three-run homer, a grand slam, and a two-run double, helping the Mets split the series and providing a potential turning point in his season. Despite this historic performance, Nimmo has struggled at the plate this year, batting .192 with a significantly lower on-base percentage and walk rate, though his hard-hit rate and exit velocity remain among the league's best. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza remains optimistic about Nimmo's outlook, noting his consistent hard contact as a positive sign. After his record-tying game, Nimmo was given a rest day against Arizona, sitting out against left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. Analysts suggest this breakout could signal the start of a hot streak for the veteran outfielder.
