San Francisco – Starling Marte contributed for the Mets before he reached the injured list at the beginning of July, and since his return he has recovered that momentum.
The veteran DH now has six hits in its 10 battles since his activation of the IL last week after 2-out-3 with a walk in the 5-3 victory of the Mets on the Giants on Sunday.
Marte missed two weeks after receiving a gel injection for discomfort in his right knee.
“He has been huge,” said manager Carlos Mendoza before the victory. “He continues to give us solid battles against the left, judges. He goes down and misses a few days, and then he comes back and he doesn’t seem to miss a beat.”
Marte came into play with a .262/.364/.412 slash line with four gay and 20 RBIs. In the starting line -up Sunday, Marte reached base three times for the second consecutive day.
The other option of Mendoza would have been to start Mark Vientos as the DH.
‘I’m going to try to keep [Marte] In the line -up, but at the same time I will continue to follow him, “said Mendoza.” I keep giving him days off and getting his feedback. He is usually fairly honest with us, so we go game by game and series per series. “
Paul Blackburn was sharp in a potential last rehabilitation start for Triple-A Syracuse.
The right -handed one earned one earned point on five hits with six strikeouts and one walk over 6 ¹/₃ innings. Blackburn, who rehabilitates a shoulder view, was then able to participate in the team again as a long reliever/sixth starter, but Mendoza indicated that a decision will only be reached on Monday.
Edwin Díaz has expanded his scoreless line since 6 June to 17 innings by throwing a scoreless ninth Sunday.
He loaded the bases on two walks and a hit batter, but threw out of trouble to earn his 23rd salvation in 25 chances this season.
The All-Star Closer has made only one earned run possible about its last 32 performances, with a 4-0 record with 17 Saves since April 23.
Jose Siri, who has been sidelined since April with a broken shin, is still not close to resuming baseball activities, but it is still expected that he will play again this season, according to Mendoza.
Siri’s training sessions consisted of running in a swimming pool to strengthen the leg.
