Mets riding Flores’ hot streak as Reyes pushed to the bench

One of the hottest bats in the Mets lineup has been utility man, Wilmer Flores. Now he’s slowly getting more playing time as he has overtaken Jose Reyes at third. Flores has started four of the last five games for the Mets after posting nine multi-hit games in May.

Flores is currently slashing .308/.333/.467 compared to Reyes who is at .191/.264/.309. It also should be noted that Reyes doesn’t have a hit in his last 16 at-bats so this is an easy call to make. However, let’s dig a little deeper as to how this has transpired.

First, this is more on Reyes than it is Flores.
