After a quiet start to the season, Tyrone Taylor<\/strong><\/a> has stepped up for the New York Mets<\/a>. In need of production, the veteran outfielder recorded three hits and three RBI, including a towering three run homer against the Atlanta Braves<\/a>. He did the same in the game prior, smashing a three-run home run. His efforts have given the Mets lineup more emphasis, as they have totaled 22 runs across their last two wins.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaylor continues to do some impressive stuff. It\u2019s phenomenal swings right now. Great at-bats. If he swings and misses, it doesn\u2019t impact the next swing. He\u2019s hitting the ball out front. It\u2019s really impressive,\u201d interim manager Andy Green<\/strong><\/a> said.<\/p>\n

Tyrone Taylor Steps Up<\/h4>\n

Taylor showed signs of consistency at the start of this season, recording 18 hits, three home runs and 14 RBI across the first two months. Yet, his fourth season in Queens was brought to a standstill by a hip injury. He spent most of June on the injured list and on rehabilitation assignments.<\/p>\n

Upon returning, Tyrone Taylor strung together five hits, three home runs and three RBI to start the month. In his next five games, he produced nine hits, three home runs and nine RBI. As of Tuesday, he has recorded 34 hits, nine home runs and 26 RBI on a .250 average. Some of those numbers are much higher than last season when he hit two home runs and 27 RBI in 113 appearances.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s impressed me as a person for years now. The type of teammate he is, the way he goes about his work. Can\u2019t imagine anybody wouldn\u2019t love having him on their team, and he really defends the field,\u201d Green added.<\/p>\n

Perfect Timing<\/h4>\n

Tyrone Taylor has stepped up for the Mets at the same time as shortstop Francisco Lindor<\/strong><\/a> and second baseman Marcus Semien<\/strong><\/a>. In the team\u2019s last six games, Lindor has nine hits, including two home runs and six RBI against the Braves. Semien, on the other hand, has produced six hits, three home runs and six RBI. The trio accounted for 11 of the Mets\u2019 total 14 runs against the Braves.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Taylor] is a great teammate, great person and he understands his role and he\u2019s good at it,\u201d Lindor said. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t complain. He goes out there and plays the game the right way day in and out, and he gives us a chance to win every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[Taylor\u2019s] such a good guy. Always positive even though the tough times of this year. He\u2019s the same guy. He\u2019s found something that\u2019s working for him right now,\u201d Semien added.<\/p>\n
