Eric Young Jr. hit his first homer of the year Monday in the Mets' 9-7 win over the Yankees. All three Mets outfielders homered, with Curtis Granderson and Chris Young also doing damage. EY had the best night of the group, though, going 3-for-5 with a double and a steal. He also had a nice 11-pitch at-bat that concluded with a line out to short. He's now started back-to-back games, collecting three hits in both, after starting just once in the first 10 days of the month. Terry Collins doesn't need much excuse to use him, so one imagines he'll be back out there tomorrow.
