Cabrera went 4-for-6 with a double, a homer, two RBI and three runs in Tuesday's 14-4 victory over the Phillies.
Although Cabrera's hit safely in all but one game this year, this was still a noteworthy breakout for him, as it was his first homer of the year and his first multi-hit game since April 3. Despite missing some time to injury, Cabrera enjoyed one of his finest MLB seasons last year, hitting a surprising .280 with 23 homers and a career-best .810 OPS. It's a lot to ask for him to replicate those numbers, but Cabrera is a capable hand both at the plate and in the field, so he'll continue holding down shortstop as the Mets groom top prospect Amed Rosario in the minors.
