The Mets finally had a Sean Manaea sighting, but otherwise Sunday served as a frustrating final game for them before the All-Star break.

With Jesse Winker back on the injured list and Starling Marte out until after the All-Star break, the Mets need someone to step up big and provide a boost in the designated hitter role. Enter Mark Vientos.

Mark Vientos went from breaking a bat in disgust to conquering hero in a span of two plate appearances Friday night.

The Orioles are starting right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano, marking the fourth straight time Vientos is absent from the Mets ' lineup versus a righty. He's just 2-for-27 with a 9:0 K:BB since coming off the injured list and looks to now be in a short-side platoon role. Ronny Mauricio is at third base and batting seventh Wednesday.
