Overview
- Mark Vientos’ three-hit game, including a double and an RBI, powered Saturday’s 9-0 win at the Giants and pushed his hitting streak to four.
- The 26-year-old is 7-for-14 to open April, following Friday’s two-hit, two-walk outing in a 10-3 victory that kick-started the run.
- He started at first base and hit fifth as Juan Soto stayed day-to-day with a calf issue and Jorge Polanco dealt with Achilles tendinitis.
- “I feel like myself,” Vientos said, explaining that a simple plan at the plate and good at-bats are guiding the turnaround.
- Mendoza called him “a pretty important player” who could be impactful for a lineup seeking production after his .057/.108/.171 spring and last season’s step back from a 2024 breakout.
