WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Carson Benge<\/a> led the New York Mets<\/a> to another extra-inning victory, hitting an RBI single and a two-run double during a 10-run 12th inning in a wild 16-7 victory over the Washington Nationals<\/a> on Monday night.<\/p>\n

New York became the first National League team to score at least 10 runs in an extra inning since the 1919 Cincinnati Reds<\/a> broke loose for 10 in the 13th inning at Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

The Nationals made four errors and left 19 runners on base, but kept it close until falling apart in the 12th. Paxton Schultz<\/a> (0-1) retired his first hitter on a sacrifice bunt, but the next six reached base, starting with Benge\u2019s infield single off Schultz\u2019s glove that put the Mets up 7-6.<\/p>\n

Benge scored on Vidal Bruj\u00e1n\u2019s bunt single with the bases loaded, Brett Baty<\/a> added a two-run single and Marcus Semien<\/a>\u2019s RBI single made it 11-6.<\/p>\n

By then, things had gone so horribly awry that Washington moved infielder Jorbit Vivas<\/a> to the mound and put designated hitter Jos\u00e9 Tena in the field. There was clearly some confusion over whether that would be allowed, with Schultz coming back onto the field at one point, but umpires eventually let the Nats make the move. A.J. Ewing hit an RBI single and Benge added a two-run double off Vivas.<\/p>\n

New York improved to 6-4 in extra-inning games, the most any major league team has played this season. The Mets, trying to climb out of an early hole, have won six of seven overall \u2014 with three coming in extras. Benge came through with the go-ahead swing in all three.<\/p>\n

Schultz received his first career decision in his 27th big league appearance.<\/p>\n

Baty and Bo Bichette<\/a> homered for New York, which led 5-3 before the Nationals scored in the seventh and eighth. Both teams got a run in the 11th.<\/p>\n

Huascar Brazob\u00e1n (3-1) worked through a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the 10th to keep the game tied. After the Mets took a 6-5 lead in the 11th, he allowed an RBI infield single to Joey Wiemer<\/a> that tied it, but after a double by Vivas put runners on second and third with two outs, the Nationals couldn\u2019t push across the winning run.<\/p>\n

Baty\u2019s 451-foot homer in the fourth cleared the center-field fence and ricocheted off a taller wall that\u2019s part of the batter\u2019s eye.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Nolan McLean<\/a> (2-2) starts for the Mets against Washington\u2019s Foster Griffin<\/a> (4-2) on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
