1B/DH FA
Lucas Duda clubbed a three-run homer off of Adam Wainwright, providing more than enough support for Johan Santana and the Mets to secure an 8-0 victory over the Cardinals on Friday.
Duda finished the game 1-for-4 with four RBI, adding a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning. He's now hit three homers in his last two games. He's provided solid run production in the middle of the Mets lineup with eight homers and 30 RBI on the season to go along with a respectable .259 average. He's still susceptible to the strikeout, fanning 49 times in 170 at-bats, but as long as he keeps producing that can be overlooked.
