When you look back to the month of August for the New York Mets, it was one of their better months of the year. They were 15-15, which is the first time the organization had a record of .500 or better since April (15-9).
On offense, the Mets were surprisingly one of the better teams in all of baseball. They had 271 hits, which was the most in the big leagues. Plus, they had ten triples (led the league) and they scored the fourth most runs behind the St. Louis Cardinals, New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.
