1B/DH FA
Lucas Duda went 2-for-4 with a walk-off single as the Mets beat the Yankees 2-1 on Tuesday.
The left fielder batted cleanup behind David Wright and he rewarded his manager with a game-winning single off Mariano Rivera in the ninth inning. Duda is quietly hitting .242/.355/.471 with nine homers this year, and batting fourth in the lineup he's actually an even-better .298/.353/.532 in 47 at-bats. With John Buck coming back to earth and Ike Davis close to falling off it, Duda could see more time at cleanup in the coming weeks.
