What happened: A.J. Ewing stole a base in the 6th inning to reach 25 steals on the season. The total moves him past Mookie Wilson for the franchise rookie mark.
Why it matters: Wilson's total stood as the club's rookie standard for speed. Ewing's efficiency forces pitchers and catchers to account for him whenever he reaches. That pressure gives New York another way to manufacture runs during the September stretch.
By the numbers: 25 stolen bases; new franchise rookie record, ahead of Mookie Wilson.
What to watch: Watch how often New York lets Ewing run over the final week. Each additional steal extends the new rookie standard.
