“#Pete Alonso, Yoenis Cespedes can\u2019t get untracked for Mets<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n There was a time when Yoenis Cespedes was the only hitter the Mets wanted at the plate with runners on base. We live in a time when Pete Alonso holds the same place in the fan base\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n

But in 2020, there isn\u2019t much time for the team\u2019s biggest sluggers to find their swings.<\/p>\n

With multiple opportunities to help stop the Mets\u2019 three-game<\/a> slide, Alonso and Cespedes combined for one hit and four strikeouts, while being responsible for 11 of the 20 men left on base by the Mets in their 7-1 loss to the Braves on Saturday night at Truist Park.<\/p>\n

Alonso went 1-for-5 with two strikeouts, and stranded six runners, as his batting average dropped to .200. The reigning N.L. Rookie of the Year now has just one hit in his past 11 at-bats and hasn\u2019t homered in the past five games, leaving the all-time rookie home run record holder (53) stuck on one home run for the season. Last year, Alonso had five home runs in his first 10 games.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wants to do so much out there, and you know how much he cares,\u201d Mets manager Luis Rojas said. \u201cHe\u2019s been working really hard and he actually really looked good earlier in practice and everything, a little more calm, not a lot of moving parts, [then] not the same in the game. \u2026 He got out of the rhythm he had.\u201d<\/p>\n

After starter Michael Wacha was tagged for five runs in the first two innings, the Mets quickly found an opportunity to chip away in the third, following back-to-back one-out walks by Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil. Then, Alonso hit into an inning-ending double play.<\/p>\n

Alonso came to the plate again in the fifth with Nimmo and McNeil getting aboard, but came up short again, chasing a 3-2 pitch from Luke Jackson out of the zone for the first out. Following a seventh-inning strikeout, Alonso slammed his bat in the dugout multiple times. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s definitely something you need to regroup right away,\u201d Rojas said of Alonso. \u201cHe\u2019s got to get ready mentally and physically for [Sunday].\u201d <\/p>\n

Though Alonso will be given the opportunity to work through his struggles, Cespedes no longer has the luxury of a long leash given the app<\/a>ealing replacement options of J.D. Davis and Dominic Smith.<\/p>\n

Outside of a pair of home runs \u2014 including the game-winner on Opening Day \u2014 one double and a pair of singles, the 34-year-old, injury-plagued DH has looked like someone who hasn\u2019t played in two years.<\/p>\n

Following Saturday\u2019s 0-for-4 effort with two strikeouts \u2014 leaving five men on base \u2014 Cespedes now holds a team-worst .161 batting average while hitting 1-for-13 on the road.<\/p>\n

With the Mets down 5-0 in the fourth inning, Michael Conforto and Robinson Cano opened the frame with back-to-back singles. Next came Cespedes, who struck out on three pitches. Following a Cano sacrifice fly in the fifth, Cespedes ended a potential rally by grounding out with two Mets on base.<\/p>\n

One week earlier, Cespedes said, \u201cI will return to being that player from back then.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s unclear how much longer the former All-Star \u2014 in the final year of his contract \u2014 will have that chance.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
