Ewing kept the Mets competitive with a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning before belting a solo homer off David Bednar in the ninth to reduce the deficit to two runs. Ewing has logged at least two RBI in four of his last six outings and has reached base safely in 10 consecutive games, going 16-for-37 (.432) with two home runs, nine RBI and eight runs scored over that span.

The rookie outfielder was one of three Mets to collect three hits in a 15-run, 15-hit outburst from the offense. Ewing has hit safely in six straight games, batting .478 (11-for-23) during that blistering stretch with two doubles, a homer, a steal, six runs and seven RBI. His 23 stolen bases on the season puts him one back of Mookie Wilson's 1981 campaign for the franchise rookie record in that category, but teammate Carson Benge is also in the hunt for the record with 22 steals.
