Mark Vientos continues hot stretch as Mets avoid getting swept by Reds

Mark Vientos had three hits in the 8-4 win.

He was down, 0-2, in an at-bat that looked like a lot of his at-bats early in his major league career.As Vientos is learning through a lost Mets season, maybe he can become a find.

With two runners on base in the fifth inning of a game the Mets were leading by one, Vientos stepped up against Carson Spiers, a righty . With the count full, Vientos shortened up and smacked a cutter right back through the middle for an RBI single, giving the Mets a valuable insurance run and giving the Mets more reason to give him more at-bats.Vientos clearly has mastered Triple-A pitching, posting a .999 OPS with 16 home runs in 61 games with Syracuse this year.After his 3-for-4 afternoon, Vientos is hitting an even .300 with three home runs and six RBIs in his past 14 games.
