setbacks to already injured players, the ragtag Mets have continued to find ways to win. The rain once again messed with the Mets’ schedule this week, reducing the number of games played to five from the seven that were scheduled. The Mets went 4-1 over those five games, taking three of four games from the Rockies after dropping the series opener on Monday, including a doubleheader sweep on Thursday and executing a “mini-sweep” of the Braves on Saturday with their most decisive victory of the season. That laugher on Saturday propelled the Mets to a 126 wRC+ as a team over the past week, which is tied for the second-best mark in baseball. Especially notable is the breakout in the power department from the Mets. As has been the theme all season, the Mets’ victories included contributions from unlikely sources. We’ll start with the new face on this meter. On Tuesday, in what was truly an “emergency mode” move, the Mets traded for 26-year-old Brewers outfielder Billy McKinney. They had very little choice but to make a move like this, given the fact that Johneshwy Fargas (who had been performing so well as a fill-in) sprained his AC joint by slamming into the outfield wall and was placed on the (very crowded) injured list. That, combined with the fact that Cameron Maybin and Khalil Lee—who combined for one hit in a total of 19 plate appearances between them this week—continued to be pretty much automatic outs, created a dire outfield situation for the Mets that McKinney was meant to help remedy. The bar is low, to be fair, but McKinney has far exceeded it so far. Over his first ten plate appearances as a Met, McKinney logged two hits, including a home run in Saturday’s rout of the Braves, drove in three runs, and scored three runs. Although McKinney is likely far from a long-term solution for the Mets, he has already shown himself to be a significant upgrade over what they had. It is worth noting that Maybin did snap his historic hitless drought in Saturday’s game with a dribbler up the third base line that stayed fair. He also walked twice and scored two runs this week. Meanwhile, Lee also scored a run this week. But now that players are beginning to return from the injured list for the Mets, both players have found themselves off the roster. (Note that this meter does not include yesterday’s game, which will be reflected in next week’s meter.) Brandon Drury has thrived this week at the plate, with his ability to play multiple positions being a huge asset to the ailing Mets. In nine plate appearances this week, Drury had three hits, including two home runs—one in Tuesday’s 3-1 victory and one in Saturday’s laugher. His four RBIs for the week are tied for the team lead with two players who had far more plate appearances than he did. A player who had a promising career set back by a long battle with migraine headaches, it would be a great story for Drury to find a second life with the Mets. The two other players with four runs driven in this week are the Mets’ catching tandem: James McCann and Tomás Nido. With Nido heading into the week scorching hot with the bat and the Mets desperate to pack as many major league caliber bats into the lineup as they could, McCann was forced into service as a first baseman this week—a position he had not played at the major league level. Not only did he handle the position better than anyone could have possibly expected, his bat finally came alive this week in a big way. Other than Drury, he is the only Met with multiple home runs this week. One of them came in Monday’s loss and the other came in Saturday’s big win. Saturday was a huge day for McCann all around; he went 4-for-5 with two RBIs and three runs scored. Overall, he posted a 235 wRC+ over 19 plate appearances this week, which earns him a much-deserved fireball. Hopefully it’s the beginning of breakout for McCann, who had struggled so mightily early in the season. Meanwhile, Nido’s bat has cooled off a bit, but he still contributed this week. His two-run homer was the decider in Tuesday’s victory, snapping a sixth-inning tie in support of Jacob deGrom in his return from the injured li
