Escobar went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's win over the Marlins.

Escobar extended the lead for the Mets with a two-run shot off Huascar Brazoban in the sixth inning. The veteran third baseman has gotten off to a terrible start even with the homer as seen in a slash of .107/.138/.214. Escobar will have to start hitting if he's going to hold off Brett Baty -- assuming Baty is healthy after dealing with a thumb injury this spring -- from taking over at the hot corner.
