After an offensive explosion last week on the road, the Mets offense has returned to Citi Field mode this home stand, struggling to score runs. Fortunately, with the exception of yesterday’s bullpen catastrophe, the pitching has been good enough for the Mets to carry a winning record for the week. Highlights include the revelation that is Jeff McNeil, Todd Frazier and Jay Bruce coming back hot off the disabled list, and Dominic Smith making the most of his limited at-bats.

There is no question that Jeff McNeil has been the Mets’ most consistent bat since he was called up from the minors.
