Few-Hitters

The Mets were held to three hits last night -- the fifth time this season they were held to three or fewer hits. The Mets have had eight better seasons for avoiding games with three hits or fewer. The 1980 Mets, a team with a below league average batting average and a team that went 67-95 on the season, had not a single game in which they had fewer than 4 hits. Those 1980 Mets are one of only three teams in the last 50 years to go a whole season without even one game of three hits or fewer -- the others were the 1999 Giants and the 1998 Rockies.
