A.J. Ewing went 3-for-5 with a homer, a double, two RBI, and two runs scored as the Mets defeated the Braves 8-1 on Sunday afternoon.
The homer was his second since being called up by the Mets, and he fell just a triple shy of the cycle. The dynamic outfielder is now hitting .267 with a .723 OPS through his first 120 big-league plate appearances. Ewing stole 17 bases in 30 games in the minors this year, and he has seven through 31 contests with the Mets. It’s very early in his career, but Ewing is displaying a roto-friendly profile. The Mets now head to hitter-friendly Cincinnati for a three-game set that begins Monday.
