According to the Elias Sports Bureau, courtesy of ESPN.com, last time was the first time in 17 years that the Mets suffered three shutouts over a five-game span, which last occurred in July 1992 when the Mets did not score a run in three straight games.

In a post to his blog for ESPN.com, Buster Olney relays information from the great Mark Simon of ESPN Research regarding David Wright.
“Wright is taking pitches he should be crushing,” Simon explains.  “In July, Wright has seen 11 fastballs in the strike zone while in a hitters’ count, but has not put any of them into [...]

In 13 away games, they’ve hit 12 home runs and just two triples.
The Mets’ team record for triples in a season is 47, and we are just 15% of the way through the year.
…i’d be interested to see where most [...]

In April 2007, David Wright was hitting .244, with no home runs, six RBI and a .681 OPS.  He struck out 23 times and walked 16.
