David Wright was 0 for 3 with a walk when he came up with the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Mets and Brewers tied at four. Michael Blazek could not find the plate to go 3-0, then put the ball down the middle. Wright lined a single to right-center, and the Mets win 5-4.
Wright’s stat line for the season now stands at .223/.361/.388, meaning he’s generating a lot of his offense via walks. With his back troubles, it’s not clear that he’s a very good hitter. I suspect that pitchers should go after him a bit harder. Instead of falling behind and having to catch a good chunk of the plate, they should make Wright beat them and not avoid contact. Despite the game winner, he’s not the same hitter as in his younger days.
