Robinson Cano’s bones tell him there is rain in the forecast.
“When [the hits] fall, one day it’s going to be a bunch, like raining,” the Mets second baseman said. “You have got to keep grinding, and I have been in this situation before where I hit a ball hard and what else can I do?”
Cano will enter Friday’s game in St. Louis with an abysmal slash line — .192/.253/.329 with two homers and eight RBIs — but is soothed somewhat by the fact his contact has been solid lately.
That included Wednesday’s game against the Phillies, in which he squared up three balls but still finished 0-for-4.
