Rotowire
Benge went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-1 win over the Marlins.
Benge got the scoring started with a leadoff homer in the bottom of the first inning before walking and coming around to score in the sixth. It capped a strong May for the rookie, who hit .306 with nine extra-base hits, 15 RBI, 19 runs scored and three stolen bases over 28 games during the month.

Benge went 3-for-6 with a double, three RBI, three runs scored and a walk in Monday's extra-innings win over the Nationals.
Benge was one of six New York players who recorded multi-hit performances in this win, a game in which the Mets scored 10 runs in the 12th inning to pull away for good. Benge has been on a tear of late and has five multi-hit performances over his last seven contests, a stretch in which he's hitting .412 with a .915 OPS, two doubles, six RBI, eight runs scored and two stolen bases. He should continue to hit near the top of the Mets' order as long as he keeps seeing the ball this well.
Benge went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Yankees.
Benge continues to improve -- this was his fourth multi-hit effort over his last five games. He hadn't logged an extra-base hit since May 8, but that changed with his two-out double in the third inning. The outfield prospect is batting .245 with a .653 OPS, three home runs, 13 RBI, 19 runs scored, six doubles and eight stolen bases over 42 contests this season. This was his fifth straight game atop the lineup, which should give him a chance to utilize his speed if he keeps getting on base frequently.

Mets' Carson Benge: Getting another chance at leadoff

With a .300/.352/.500 batting line over his last 54 plate appearances, Benge is one of the few Mets players swinging a hot bat, so he's getting another opportunity at the top of the batting order.
