Daniel Murphy delivered a game-tying, pinch-hit homer in the eighth inning, then added a two-run double in the ninth, helping the Mets beat the Washington Nationals 6-3 Thursday for their sixth straight win.
The Mets got it right both on and off the field Tuesday. Before their 6-4 win over the Washington Nationals, the team visited wounded soldiers at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center -- with none of the drama that came from last year's trip.
I surely got your attention with that headline -- but it's not as far-fetched as it sounds.

Josh Thole had three RBIs, including a two-run double that put the Mets ahead run in the sixth inning, and New York ran its winning streak to five games Tuesday night with a 6-4 win over the Washington Nationals.
It's been a bad week for former Mets outfielders. Carl Everett, who spent three seasons in New York from 1995-97, was in a Tampa jail Tuesday on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after putting a handgun to his wife's head, according to police records.
Does embattled 1986 Mets outfielder have an unlikely ally in Charlie Sheen? According to TMZ, Sheen fronted 15 percent of Dykstra's $150,000 bail last week -- to the tune of $22,500. However, Dykstra's lawyer refutes the report.
Gee does not have the stuff that blows you away. He does not light up the radar gun. For those of you who remember the '86 Mets, he is very much a right-handed Bobby Ojeda. Smart, durable and a winner.
This past week, Jose Reyes and David Wright appeared in their 800th game together. While the left side of the infield has remained relatively stable over the past seven seasons, the Mets have had plenty of second basemen over that same span.
For 1986 Mets outfielder Lenny Dykstra, when it rains, it pours. According to TMZ, Dykstra put out an advertisement on Craigslist for a housekeeper. An unidentified woman went to interview for the gig -- and that's when things reportedly got weird.
Mets pitcher Chris Young, is slated to return after being placed on the DL due to biceps tendinitis. Let's talk a bit about the role of the biceps and the impact of Young's diagnosis.
Don't think for a moment Jason Bay's return and the Mets' 4-game winning streak are mutually exclusive events. The offensive cause-and-effect of his return to the Mets' lineup cannot be overstated.
Bud Selig prides himself on being a student of history. In two judgments last week, though, baseball's long-serving steward reminded us he can be a fan of selective memory, too, so long as it suits his purpose.
