MET NOTES

The Mets have lost outfielders at an unbelievable rate this season. Soon, they will lose another one for at least three games, but it’s for a good reason.

Benny Agbayani’s wife, Niela, is pregnant and due July 8. She is back home in Aiea, Hawaii. When she goes into labor with the couples’ first child, Aleia, Agbayani will be on a 10-hour flight from Newark to Hawaii.

“I’ve got a job to do, but not too many times you are going to get a gift from God like that,” Agbayani said before the Mets’ 10-1 loss to the Braves.
