NEW YORK -- Now that his hamstring is feeling exponentially better, Eric Thames is confident his swing -- as well as his fortunes at the plate -- is about to pick up and help him find the success he enjoyed during the first month of the season.

His swing looked just fine in the Brewers' 5-4 loss to the Mets in 12 innings on Tuesday, as Thames reached base in his first four plate appearances, finishing 2-for-4 with two walks.

Thames truly realized his leg was back to normal when he turned on the jets and legged out a triple in the fifth inning against Mets starter Tyler Pill.
