Eduardo Escobar homered for the third straight game, Carlos Carrasco rebounded from a pair of poor starts and the Mets topped the Texas Rangers 4-1 on Sunday.
Jonah Heim homered for the second consecutive game for the Rangers, his 12th of the season. He began the day tied with Atlanta backstop Travis d’Arnaud for most in the majors as a catcher.
The 35-year-old right-hander was lifted with two on and high-fived his infielders before clapping into his glove as he walked off to a standing ovation from the crowd of 25,241. The burly slugger hustled to second base as the ball rolled into right field. Heim was charged with an error, the first for the Rangers in six games. They had committed only one in 13 games since June 17 — the fewest in the majors during that span.
“He’s swinging the bat extremely well. I’m proud of him,” said a smiling McNeil, noting how the upbeat Escobar often tells his teammates he’s proud of them. “He’s doing some great things right now for us, putting some big swings on the ball. Just super happy for the guy and glad he’s breaking out.”
