Mets' Asdrubal Cabrera: Smacks 17th homer in return to lineup

Cabrera (knee) went 2-for-4 with a walk and a two-run homer in a return to the lineup Tuesday before being lifted for a defensive sub late in the game.

Analysis:

Cabrera's bomb came in the bottom of the first inning after leadoff man Jose Reyes singled to get things going. The home run was Cabrera's 17th of the season and raised his batting line to .273/.324/.453. The Mets' brutal offense, ranking 28th in the MLB in runs scored, has dragged down some of Cabrera's numbers: he has just 44 RBI and 48 runs scored despite playing basically everyday.
