ATLANTA — Amed Rosario’s strong finish to last season could be explained as a previously struggling player fattening up in garbage time.
Either that or Rosario actually improved.
The Mets shortstop continues to state his case the latter explanation is true. On Thursday he delivered one big hit and another smaller contribution, carrying the lineup from the No. 7 hole.
Rosario drove in four runs, Pete Alonso unleashed a Ruthian blast and Steven Matz was strong for six innings against the Braves in the Mets’ 6-3 victory at SunTrust Park.
