The Mets might be reaching an inflection point at third base. For about two weeks they have carried both Mark Vientos and Brett Baty in what has amounted to a platoon that has boosted the club's offense but compromised its defensive flexibility. Francisco Lindor and Jeff McNeil played all 19 innings of Tuesday's doubleheader because the Mets had no true backup middle infielder. 3 Brett Baty Robert Sabo for NY Post Manager Carlos Mendoza acknowledged the Mets were holding conversations about how much longer the club can proceed with such an odd roster makeup. “We gotta get through today, check with [Lindor and McNeil], see where we're at,” Mendoza said before the Mets were swept in the doubleheader
The Mets hit three home runs and got six solid innings from Christian Scott, but Reed Garrett let a four-run eighth-inning lead slip in an 8-7 loss to the San Francisco Giants at Citi Field on Friday night.
Mark Vientos provided an offensive spark, but Joey Lucchesi gave in to one bad inning and shaky defense cost the Mets in a 10-5 loss to the Phillies.
