Mets manager Carlos Mendoza addressed Mark Vientos‘ defensive struggles following a win over the Dodgers, noting that Vientos has committed a team-high seven errors this season, including a misplay on a ground ball by Mookie Betts. Vientos was pulled later in the game for defensive purposes as Brett Baty and Luisangel Acuña took over in the infield. Meanwhile, Pete Alonso ended a 65 at-bat homerless streak with a two-run homer against Landon Knack, contributing to the Mets’ 3-1 victory.
