* Walk-off loss # 374 was the 3rd Mets walk-off loss of 2008
* It was the Mets 25th walk-off loss against the Padres, the first since April 21, 2006 (Brian Giles 14th-inning double).
* This was the 3rd time in Mets history that they lost a game on a walk-off hit by pitch.
The other 2 instances happened in 1974 (vs Cardinals, Jack Aker hit Jerry DaVanon) and 1997 (vs Astros, Greg McMichael hit Luis Gonzalez).
* The last time a Mets opponent left 15+ men on base and still got a walk-off win within 9 innings was September 5, 1990, when the Pirates beat the Mets, 1-0. The Pirates held the Mets to 1 hit, left 15 on base, and won on Barry Bonds walk-off single in the bottom of the 9th. It was their only hit with a runner in scoring position for the game.
* The closest instance I could find to a similar such loss was a 4-3 loss to the Expos on July 2, 1972. Bob Rauch walked 4 batters in the bottom of the 9th, including Ron Fairly to end the game. The Expos won despite not hitting a ball out of the infield during the decisive scoring sequence. Rauch faced 6 batters and did not allow a hit, but lost the game, the only decision of his major-league career.
