The Mets would add an insurance run late, but Nimmo\u2019s run would be the only one they needed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Mets_Phillies_Baseball-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Brandon Nimmo belts the game-winning homer in the Mets' 2-0 win over the Phillies.\" class=\"wp-image-21881193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Mets_Phillies_Baseball-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Mets_Phillies_Baseball-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Mets_Phillies_Baseball-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Mets_Phillies_Baseball-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Brandon Nimmo belts the game-winning homer in the Mets\u2019 2-0 win over the Phillies.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Nimmo and Wheeler are good pals, part of a friendship that goes all the way back to Rookie Ball. They\u2019re both now standouts on opposing teams, and while the swing was \u201creally special\u201d for the Mets outfielder, it was because of the quality of the pitcher rather than the identity.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s been a thorn in our side ever since he left and he\u2019s such a great pitcher,\u201d Nimmo said of Wheeler, who gave up just the run and two hits in 4 \u00b2\/\u2083 innings, the blast representing his final pitch. \u201cYou want to compete against the best, and you want to do well against the best, and he is one of the best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nimmo has been a thorn in Wheeler\u2019s side, too, now 8-for-28 (.286) with the homer and two doubles off his former teammate, who left for Philadelphia following the 2019 season.<\/p>\n<p>The Mets are six games into their season, but Nimmo is making a case he is the best hitter on the club. The leadoff hitter went 1-for-3 with a walk, keeping his batting average at .333.<\/p>\n<p>He is a rare piece who does some of everything, including playing an excellent center field, and the only drawback to his game is the injury bug that creeps up. His neck is feeling better, and with each long ball he adds to the ledger, he will boost a potential contract that should come after the season, when Nimmo can be a free agent.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s a long way off. For now, the Mets and Nimmo are enjoying each at-bat of Nimmo\u2019s, even against one of the league\u2019s best.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNimmo put a good swing on it,\u201d Showalter said.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
