Dominic Smith has 22 extra-base hits (16 doubles, six homers) in his last 28 games…He is leading the majors with 16 doubles…Overall he is batting .322/.390/.636 with 18 runs, 16 doubles, seven home runs, 32 RBI, 12 walks and a 1.025 OPS…He is tied for fourth in the NL and tied for seventh in MLB in RBI, tied for second in the NL and tied for fourth in the majors in extra-base hits. Therefore the Mets, desperate to make the playoffs, aren’t starting him tonight.
Meanwhile, thanks to Todd Frazier returning to town with his Magic Beans, Pete Alonso is on a five-game hitting streak, batting .333 (7-21) with six runs, a double, four home runs, six RBI, two walks and a 1.369 OPS over that span…that’s weird.
Vulgar Pete Leads the majors with 63 platea ppearances with runners in scoring position…Leads MLB with 82 men left on base.
That’s it. The rest of the notes are kind of boring today.
