Escobar went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Yankees.
Escobar's 12th home run of the season capped a four-run first inning for the Mets, who were able to quickly come back from an early 2-0 deficit. The home run is Escobar's only hit in 12 at-bats since the All-Star break, but he still appears secure as the Mets' everyday third baseman. He'll start again in Wednesday's series finale and bat eighth.
