Mickey Callaway penciled Amed Rosario in at the top of the order Monday night for the 20th time this season.
Expect to see Rosario at the top of the order more often after the shortstop hit the first leadoff homer of his career in an 8-5 win over the Yankees in The Bronx — and it led to the Mets’ biggest power surge of the season.
“I think leading him off, he seems to adapt to that spot in the order and really values laying off pitches and being more patient,’’ Callaway said after Rosario went 2-for-5 in the win.
