Mets win ninth straight, matching epic 1986 start

Life has gone from good to Grandy at Citi Field.

The only thing really missing during this wild Mets winning streak and early first-place surge was a few hits from their $60 million right fielder. But Curtis Granderson joined the party Tuesday night and made his hits count.

Granderson went 3-for-5 with four RBIs in leading the Mets to their ninth straight victory, 7-1 over the Braves.

The nine-game winning streak is the Mets’ longest since July 2008, when they were still playing home games at Shea Stadium. The Mets are 11-3 for the first time since 1986 – the year they last won the World Series.
