How Amazing is Daniel Murphy’s Run?

Daniel Murphy hit another home run last night. His seventh of the playoffs - his sixth game in a row. Jayson Stark of ESPN.com tells us just how amazing this run is by Murphy. Read the full story here.

1. Hank Aaron hit six postseason home runs in his whole career (in 17 games and 74 plate appearances). Daniel Murphy has now hit postseason home runs in six games in a row.

2. No player has ever homered in six games in a row in any of the Mets' 54 regular seasons. But Daniel Murphy has done it in his very first postseason.

3.  Here's just a small list of players who have never hit a home run in six games in a row in the regular season: Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriguez, David Ortiz, Miguel Cabrera, Jose Bautista, Prince Fielder and Ryan Howard. And Daniel Murphy has homered in six in a row in the postseason.

4. Then again, it's almost easier to list the guys who have had a streak like this. Over the last nine years, only three players (Nolan Arenado this year, Chris Davis in 2012 and Carlos Pena in 2010) homered in six games in a row in any stretch of any regular season. And Daniel Murphy has now done it in sixpostseason games in a row.

• This is a man who had never hit five home runs in any calendar month over any of his eight previous regular seasons. And he now has hit seven in October -- and become the first player to homer in every game of a best-of-seven postseason series. Hey, of course he has.
