After slow start at plate, Mark Vientos back looking like player Mets ‘know he’s capable of’

Mark Vientos’ early season struggles appear to officially be behind him.

The young slugger is finally settling into a groove at the plate -- putting together back-to-back multi-hit showings to help the Mets secure a very big three-game series victory over the first place Cubs.

Vientos’ first knock on Sunday was a huge one -- he put New York back in front in the sixth after Chicago evened things up on a solo shot from former Mets prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong during the top half of the inning.

It was Vientos' seventh homer of the year, which continued his Mother’s Day success.
