Few teams manage to pile up runs in extra innings like the Mets did on Monday at Nationals Park.
New York entered the top of the 12th inning in a 6-6 tie with Washington, only to pile up TEN runs in the frame en route to a 16-7 victory.
How does the Mets' huge inning stack up historically? Pretty well: It’s the seventh extra inning with double-digit runs scored and the second most in a 12th inning all time.
