Rotowire
Vientos went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs in Saturday's 9-2 win over Atlanta.
The 25-year-old slugger had arguably his best game of the season Saturday, going deep in the seventh and the ninth innings to give him 11 homers and his first three-hit game of the year. Vientos has been swinging a hot bat over his last six games, going 9-for-24 (.375) with four homers and nine RBI in that span. The third baseman is starting to resemble the hitter who tallied 27 home runs across 111 games just a year ago.

Mets' Mark Vientos: Clubs homer Sunday
Rotowire
Vientos went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Mariners in the Little League Classic.
Vientos supplied a sacrifice fly in the second inning and then took one out in the fifth. It was Vientos' first homer since July 28. The third baseman has started two of the last three games for the Mets after sitting out four straight contests amid a slump. He's struggled this year, slashing .232/.276/.372 with eight homers, 36 RBI, 26 runs scored, 14 doubles and two triples over 84 contests. Vientos will likely continue to compete with Ronny Mauricio and Brett Baty for time at the hot corner.

Mets' Mark Vientos: Slugs grand slam in loss
Rotowire
Vientos went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in a loss to the Padres on Monday.
It could have actually been a bigger game for Vientos -- he was robbed of a homer by Fernando Tatis in the fourth inning. When Vientos next came to the plate with the bases loaded in the fifth, he ensured Tatis couldn't rob him again, smashing a 385-foot shot to clear the bases. The long ball ended a lengthy power drought for Vientos, whose previous home run had come May 28, a span of 23 games. Vientos now has seven homers over 74 contests this year, well off the pace of the 27 home runs he belted across 111 regular-season games in 2024.

Mets' Mark Vientos: Key double in win
Rotowire
Vientos went 1-for-3 with a two-RBI double in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Giants.
Vientos made his lone hit count Saturday, delivering a two-run double in the sixth inning that provided all the offense the Mets needed in their 2-1 win. It's been a rocky follow-up to his breakout 2024 campaign, but the third baseman is currently riding a six-game hitting streak and has doubled in back-to-back games. This season, he's slashing .226/.280/.358 with 20 extra-base hits and 27 RBI over 74 games. By comparison, through his first 74 regular-season games last year, Vientos had a .275/.333/.557 line with 36 extra-base hits (17 doubles, 19 homers) and 48 RBI.

Vientos isn't in the starting lineup Friday versus San Francisco.
Vientos isn't starting for the first time in the campaign's second half. Since the All-Star break, he's logged starts at DH, third base and first base and has batted .238 over six games.

Mets' Mark Vientos: Drives in three in Friday's win
Rotowire
Vientos went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Friday's 8-3 win over the Royals.
With the Mets down 3-2 in the top of the eighth inning, Vientos stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and cleared them with a double to right-center field, putting New York into the lead for good. The 25-year-old has struggled to recapture his 2024 form, slashing a weak .217/.275/.350 through 64 games this season with six home runs and 24 RBI, but Vientos has recorded multiple hits in two of the last three games and has a clear path to at-bats at designated hitter in the short term due to both Jesse Winker (back) and Starling Marte (knee) currently being on the injured list.
