Plawecki hit his first home run, a solo blast, in Monday's win over the Dodgers.
Plawecki has started three consecutive games now and is making the most of it. He has gone 4-11 with four extra-base hits (three doubles and a homer) in those three starts and raised his batting line from .189/.189/.333 to .229/.351/.354. He won't be taking the job from Travis d'Arnaud in the long term, but his discipline and power combination make him a tolerable replacement while the Mets wait for their starter to return from a rotator cuff injury.
