Brandon Nimmo‘s 2025 season with the New York Mets was off to a rough start, but the outfielder may have broken out in a big way on Monday. And he tied a franchise record while doing so.
Nimmo collected nine RBI in the Mets’ 19-5 win over the Washington Nationals, matching the team mark set by Carlos Delgado in 2008. He batted 4-for-6 on the day with two home runs, including a grand slam in the seventh inning.

The 10-year veteran came into Monday’s game batting .192 with a .575 OPS, four homers and 12 RBI in 113 plate appearances. After his monster performance, his average is up to .218 and OPS at .679.
Nimmo’s record-setting day began in the sixth inning with a three-run homer off Colin Poche, who walked Jesse Winker and Mark Vientos in front of him. Poche then left a 91.1 mph fastball high and right down the middle of the strike zone for Nimmo to blast.
In the following inning, Nimmo hit his grand slam after Cole Henry loaded the bases by hitting Francisco Lindor to lead off the frame. Juan Soto then hit a double, followed by Pete Alonso driving in Lindor with a single. Henry then walked Winker on five pitches, four of which missed the strike zone badly, to set up Nimmo’s four-run blast.
Nimmo got his final two RBI in the eighth inning with a double to drive in Alonso and Winker. He had an opportunity to overtake Delgado for the franchise record in the ninth, but would have needed a home run to do so after Vientos cleared the bases with a three-run shot in front of him.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza spoke up in support of Nimmo after he batted a combined 0-for-8 on Saturday and Sunday.
“He’s not getting results, but he’s hitting the ball hard, you know?” Mendoza said, via The Athletic. “Yeah, it’s kind of weird. Obviously he knows, we know that he’s a better hitter than what he’s shown. But you always feel good about your chances when he’s at the plate.”
Nimmo finished last season with a .224 batting average and .727 OPS, but hit 23 home runs and 25 doubles. His best year with the Mets was 2021, when he hit .292 with an .838 OPS, yet only hit eight homers that season. For his career, Nimmo is batting .260 with an .805 OPS, 116 home runs and 165 doubles.
The last MLB hitter to get at least nine RBI in a game was Shohei Ohtani, who drove in 10 runs on Sept. 19, 2024 in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 20-4 win over the Miami Marlins. The MLB record for most RBI in a single game during the modern era is 12, accomplished by Mark Whiten and Jim Bottomley, both of who did so for the St. Louis Cardinals, albeit 69 years apart.

Stars push Avalanche to the brink with commanding Game 5 win: Takeaways
This entire era of Dallas hockey has been built on their depth, but that doesn’t mean the Stars aren’t loaded with, well, stars, too. But you wouldn’t know it based on the first four games of the series. Wyatt Johnston hadn’t scored yet. Neither had Mikko Rantanen. Or Matt Duchene. Or Mikael Granlund. Meanwhile Jamie Benn, Roope Hintz and Thomas Harley had just one goal each.AdvertisementAnd yet Dallas was still even in its first-round series with the high-octane Colorado Avalanche through four games.“You know what, I don’t think any of our big guys have delivered yet in this series,” Stars coach Pete DeBoer said before Game 5 when asked about Rantanen (one assist) in particular. ”He’s not the only one on this list. But the beauty of this, it’s time now. This is money time. I actually like the fact […]
Neuvěřitelné. Oba týmy vstřelily dva góly za jedenáct sekund, Florida v brutální koncovce
Florida po dvou výhrách v aréně Tampy Bay, doma v prvním domácím utkání za vyučenou (1:5). A s obhájcem prvenstvím dlouho ztrácela. Ve 29. minutě sice vstřelila úvodní gól střetnutí Antonem Lundellem (mimochodem přihrával nedávný spoluhráč Davida Pastrňáka z Bostonu Brad Marchand), ovšem její konkurent vývoj utkání otočil. Stalo se tak zásluhou dvou bleskových branek týmu s bleskem na hrudi v rozmezí neuvěřitelných jedenácti sekund krátce za zlomem zápasu do jeho druhé poloviny. Prosadili se Mitchell Chaffee a slovenský bek Erik Černák.Tato skutečnost s obhájcem Stanley Cupu poněkud zamávala. Navíc na začátku posledního dějství vyfasoval finský obránce Niko Mikkola 5+10 minut za naražení na hrazení. Domácí dlouhé oslabení přežili, což jim naopak vlilo krev do žil. V osmé minutě tohoto dějství jím vyrovnání zmařila trenérská výzva soupeře. Pak ale posadili Tampu na centrifugu a třemi góly za necelé dvě minuty úplně otočily kormidlo na cestu za třetí výhrou.V čase 56:13 se trefil obránce […]
Entenda como camisa vermelha da seleção foi escolhida e por que ela já nasceu sem ser unanimidade na CBF
O novo uniforme vermelho da seleção brasileira, que será lançado em março de 2026 para a Copa do Mundo pela Nike, não foi unanimidade na CBF, mas prevaleceu a estratégia da empresa americana. A cor nem foi tanto o problema, mas o fato de o novo uniforme substituir a camisa dois, azul, e não ser uma camisa 3, segundo o blog apurou. O presidente Ednaldo Rodrigues aderiu a estratégia da Nike. Quem defendia a camisa vermelha como terceiro uniforme argumentava que com as três em uso não haveria necessidade de polêmica, pois a seleção poderia escolher a que usar. O problema é que a Nike não faz camisa 3 para nenhuma seleção, sob o argumento de que as vendas são prejudicadas por uma espécie de canibalismo, onde o segundo uniforme concorre com o terceiro. Para evitar o prejuízo, muda-se o […]

The Panthers, the bad boys of the NHL, are ‘very comfortable with who they are’
SUNRISE, Fla. — The Florida Panthers are not only the resident bad boys of the National Hockey League, but they’re also the defending Stanley Cup champions.They illustrated both facts on Monday.Florida threw a couple of flagrantly illegal hits, killed a five-minute major penalty while trailing in the third period, overcame the sobering ruling of a game-tying call being overruled by an offside challenge, tied the game anyway and used a dramatic spurt to push the Lightning to the brink in a 4-2 victory.AdvertisementEverything about this night was a microcosm of why the Panthers have owned the Eastern Conference for the past three seasons and why they appear to have surpassed their bitter rivals for potentially long-term state bragging rights. One more win will do it.This one didn’t feel like it was going to be a Panthers’ win, but then their […]
