New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos hit two home runs off of New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole on Tuesday, starting the Subway Series off with a bang.
Third baseman Mark Vientos led off the bottom of the second inning with a solo home run off of Gerrit Cole. The next time he stepped up to the plate, Vientos took Cole yard again, blasting a second solo shot off of the Yankees' ace to lead off the bottom of the fourth.
Mark Vientos is just the third right-handed batter to hit two home runs off of Gerrit Cole in the same game, is the first Mets batter to hit multiple home runs off the reigning Cy Young winner in a single game since Travis d'Arnaud did it against Max Scherzer on April 28, 2017. Last season, Cole went 15-4 with a 2.63 ERA, 0.981 WHIP, 222 strikeouts and a 7.4 WAR. For his career, the six-time All-Star entered Tuesday with a 3.17 ERA, 1.087 WHIP, 2,152 strikeouts and a 40.8 WAR.
Vientos was a top-five prospect in the Mets' system when made his MLB debut in 2022, but he didn't truly break out until the past few weeks. In 34 appearances this season, Vientos is batting .297 with nine home runs, 20 RBI, a .925 OPS and a 1.3 WAR.
