Tommy Pham - Produces big blast Pham went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in a loss to Atlanta on Wednesday.
Impact Pham didn't start the contest, but he came on to pinch run for Pete Alonso after the star first baseman was forced to leave the contest in the first inning after being hit by a pitch. Pham remained in the contest and took over in left field, and he did his best Alonso impression with a two-run homer in the fifth inning. The veteran outfielder has gone deep three times in his past seven at-bats after hitting just three homers over his initial 38 games this season.

Max Scherzer - Fans 10 but yields five runs Scherzer allowed five runs on 11 hits and no walks while striking out 10 batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Atlanta on Wednesday.
Impact It was an up-and-down outing for the veteran hurler. On one hand, he struck out a season-high 10 batters and didn't walk anybody while inducing 19 whiffs. On the other, Scherzer gave up a season-high 11 hits and surrendered five runs. Given the quality of the opponent, this start probably isn't going to slow down Scherzer's recent momentum too much, especially considering the multiple positive takeaways. The right-hander still boasts a standout 2.35 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 38:4 K:BB over 30.2 frames across his past five starts.

Pete Alonso - Mashes 22nd homer Alonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to Atlanta.
Impact The Mets did all their scoring in the third inning, and Alonso's blast off Bryce Elder gave them a 4-1 lead the pitching staff squandered. The first baseman leads the majors with 22 homers, three ahead of Aaron Judge (toe), but Alonso has had much less success on balls that stay in the park -- he sports a .231 batting average on the season thanks to a career-worst .199 BABIP.

Francisco Lindor - Swats 11th homer Lindor went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to Atlanta.
Impact He gave the Mets a 2-1 lead in the third inning by taking Bryce Elder deep. Lindor is flashing some power -- four of his 11 homers on the season have come in the last 10 games -- but little else is going right for him at the plate right now, as he's batting .154 (6-for-39) during that stretch to drag his OPS on the year down to a career-low .703.

Carlos Carrasco - Hits wall in no-decision Carrasco didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to Atlanta, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks over five-plus innings. He struck out four.
Impact The veteran righty seemed to be in control through five innings as the Mets held a 4-1 lead, but things unraveled quickly for Carrasco in the sixth after a leadoff walk was followed by back-to-back doubles. He exited after 86 pitches (52 strikes), ending his brief two-game streak of wins and quality starts. Carrasco will carry a 5.94 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 23:15 K:BB through 36.1 innings into his next outing, which is likely to come this weekend in Pittsburgh.
