Goes yard again Friday
Semien went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's win over the Pirates.
Analysis
He took Carmen Mlodzinski deep in the third inning, giving the Mets a 5-0 lead they were able to hold onto in an eventual 6-4 win. Semien has homered in back-to-back games, and his bat is showing signs of life late in the year -- over his last 12 contests, the 35-year-old is batting .306 (11-for-36) with four homers, two steals, 10 runs and 10 RBI.

On base four times Thursday
Semien went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Thursday's win over the Guardians.
Analysis
The veteran second baseman got the Mets on the board in the second inning with a solo shot off Foster Griffin, Semien's fourth long ball in the last 14 games and his 13th of the season. During that stretch, he's compiled a strong .262/.347/.571 slash line with two steals, eight RBI and 10 runs, as Semien tries to salvage his first campaign for New York. Despite the recent success at the plate, his .633 OPS on the season is still tracking toward being the worst mark of his career.
