In the midst of a deep slump in June, Eduardo Escobar promised he would eventually give Mets fans reason to cheer him.The veteran third baseman has become one of the most popular Mets. He keyed aon Saturday night at Citi Field with a three-run homer, continuing a hot streak that has caused his batting average to climb by 26 points and his OPS to rise by 78 points in recent weeks.
The turnaround coincided with his return Aug. 27 from a stint on the injured list with a strained left oblique. While he was out, Escobar watched extensive film of himself from previous seasons and tweaked his stance from the left side, going into more of a crouch. Since his return, however, Escobar, who is in his first season as a Met, has raked against both lefties and righties. He has 20 hits in his last 43 at-bats and a 1.360 OPS from the left side dating to Aug. 30.
Escobar drilled a three-run home run in the second inning Saturday, nearly homered again in the fourth, worked out a walk in the sixth and singled in the eighth. The productive evening has become familiar for Escobar, who has hit safely in 15 of his last 18 games, and has at least two hits in seven of those.
