Memo to Matt Wise from Keith Herandez: Don't throw the high change twice in a row.
* Walk-off loss number 372 is the earliest walk-off loss in Mets history BY DATE. The previous mark was held by the 6-5 12-inning walk-off loss against the Padres on April 2, 1997, when Chris Gomez beat Toby Borland with a walk-off single.
* The walk-off home run by Robert Andino was the 105th walk-off home run allowed in Mets history. It was the 5th walk-off home run by a Marlin against the Mets, the first since Josh Willingham hit one off Billy Wagner on August 1, 2006
* It was Andino's first career home run. The last player to hit his first career home run against the Mets, and make it a walk-off was Dodgers catcher Dioner Navarro on August 12, 2005.
* It was the Marlins 13th walk-off win against the Mets, their first since Dan Uggla's walk-off double against Jorge Sosa on September 20, 2007.
* The last time the Mets lost via walk-off in their second game of the season was in 2001, when they fell to the Braves. Keith Lockhart brought in the winning run with a fielder's choice against Donnie Wall.
* The last 6 Mets walk-off losses have come against 6 different pitchers- Aaron Heilman, Aaron Sele, Guillermo Mota, Billy Wagner, Jorge Sosa, and Matt Wise.
* It was the second time in his career that Matt Wise has allowed a walk-off home run. The other was against David Bell and the Phillies, June 10, 2005.
* For comparitive purposes: Rick Wise yielded only one walk-off home run in his career- to Gary Alexander of the Athletics on April 30, 1978.
The truly unwise know...Alphabetically speaking, only two pitchers whose last name slots in after "Wise" have allowed walk-off hits as Mets: Anthony Young and Pat Zachry.
