After spending Opening Day hitless in the cleanup spot, Asdrubal Cabrera batted leadoff Saturday and seemed to take a liking to it.
The third baseman went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a run and an RBI as the Mets topped the Cardinals 6-2 at Citi Field.
“I’m feeling pretty good at the plate,” Cabrera said. “I just try to come to the park and try hard to help the team no matter where [I am in the lineup].”
Cabrera got things rolling right away in the bottom of the first when he cracked a double to the right-field corner.
