The Mets went .500 this week against two contending teams, dropping two out of three to the Rangers before taking two of three from the Mariners over the weekend. The offense as a unit was solid, putting up a 124 wRC+ over the six-game span. The standout performers include DJ Stewart, who has stayed hot, Brandon Nimmo, who turned things around in a big way from last week, and Ronny Mauricio, who has impressed since his major league debut this week.
