The Mets haven’t lost since April 11, reeling off 11 straight wins against National League East rivals. They beat the Braves in Atlanta on April 12 to start the streak before capturing a three-game set against the Phillies at Citi Field, sweeping the Marlins in a four-game series at Citi and beating the Braves at Citi in a three-game series. The Mets have never won more than 11 games in a row and haven’t done so since June 17 to June 29, 1990.
