Note: Streaking For History

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Mets are the first team since the 1987 Brewers to win their 10th consecutive game by overcoming a multi-run deficit in the ninth inning or later.

Elias also says Jerry Manuel is the first Mets manager since Bud Harrelson in 1990 to post a 10-game winning streak this early in his tenure. Manuel and Harrelson both accomplished the feat within their first 27 games as manager.

By the way, the Mets can tie the club record for consecutive wins at 11 if they defeat the Reds tonight.
