A Little Time Off
Carlos Beltran hit home run number 30 tonight, helping the Mets score four runs as they are tied with the Nationals in the top of the fifth. Beltran was hitting poorly before hitting the disabled list in late July. His average stood at .263/.340/.483 BA/OBA/Slug. But the rest and recuperation did him well. The home run tonight was his eleventh in thirty five games since returning, and he came into the evening with averages of .339/.418/.694 in that time. Those are numbers worth a big contract. With both Beltran and Pedro making successful returns from injury, the Mets are looking stronger heading into the post season.
