Luis Torrens went 3-for-5 and tied a career-high with five RBI, including a three-run home run in a four-run seventh inning. Mark Vientos doubled twice and drove in two runs while continuing a hot streak, batting .387 with five homers and 13 RBI in his last eight games. The Mets overcame a 3-0 deficit and being no-hit through three innings to score 13 unanswered runs across five consecutive frames. The club went 11-for-19 with runners in scoring position. Backup Tyrone Taylor went 3-for-4 with an RBI, and Jeff McNeil drove in three runs. The win moved the Mets to 70-61 and cut their division deficit to six games.
We're getting a lot better results with runners in scoring position, manager Carlos Mendoza said on a night in which his team went 11-for-19 with runners in scoring position. We create traffic, and it's not a secret. I've been sitting here answering questions about runners in scoring position, but for quite a bit now, I feel like we've been doing a really good job now.
While Torrens recorded his first five-RBI game in four years, Vientos continued his red-hot ways. With back-to-back RBI doubles in the fourth and fifth innings, the once-struggling 24-year-old is batting .387 with five home runs, four two-baggers, and 13 RBI in his last eight games. It feels pretty good, Vientos said. I feel like whataver I can do to help the team, especially with the bat, it feels good to do something.
