ATLANTA — The swag is back.
Not that Mark Vientos ever lost it, but there was a time this season when the player the Mets call “Swaggy V” didn’t seem to possess the same power he did last season, when he hit 27 home runs in a breakout campaign. The Mets may not have completed a sweep of the Atlanta Braves on Sunday at Truist Park, but the third home run from Vientos in only two games has the Mets optimistic that his bat is fully back.
Left-hander Gregory Soto (1-4) couldn’t finish off the bottom of the eighth.
