After a slow start, Nimmo, who in recent years has shifted to a power approach, is seeing his swing pay dividends. In the last 37 games, he’s slashing .313/.365/.569 with 10 homers, seven doubles, 25 RBIs and 22 runs. He has 18 homers this year, behind only Juan Soto (21) and Pete Alonso (20) on the Mets.

Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo single-handedly outproduced the Yankees on Saturday, combining for nine RBIs and tying a Mets record in the process.

First-inning walks to Lindor and Alonso sandwiched Juan Soto's sacrifice bunt before Nimmo — without even finishing his swing — connected for his fourth career slam. It was his third of the season, matching a Mets record, and his third home run in four games.
