Mark Vientos went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to Atlanta.The 24-year-old spoiled Spencer Schwellenbach's shutout bid in the seventh inning when he drove the first pitch he saw the other way for a 346-foot homer. Vientos has had an up-and-down September, but he's racked up seven hits in the last six games, including a double and two long balls, despite striking out 11 times in 25 plate appearances.

Mets' Mark Vientos: Homers twice Thursday
Mark Vientos went 2-for-5 with a pair of home runs and three total RBI in Thursday's 7-6 loss to the A's.Batting out of the two-hole for the first time this year, Vientos certainly made a case to stay at the top of the order -- the third baseman launched a two-run homer off Mitch Spence in the third inning before adding a solo shot off Michel Otanez in the fourth. Vientos had cooled off a bit after a hot start to his season. Thursday's performance was his first multi-hit game since July 26 -- he'd gone 10-for-50 (.200) in the following 15 contests heading into Thursday. Still, it's been an impressive campaign overall for Vientos, who's established himself as a regular in the New York Mets' lineup. He's now slashing .275/.333/.557 through 288 plate appearances with 19 homers, 48 RBI and 38 runs scored.
