In the game, Young had a single in four at-bats with two strikeouts.

The 30-year-old was off to a hot start for New York this season, slashing .350/.391/.450 with two doubles and two RBI in 20 at-bats while playing first base, left field and right field.

With the Mets’ offense struggling at the time, Young had been getting more and more at-bats and was impressive in the field as well, with some highlight-reel catches in the outfield.
