Key Takeaways:

* Brandon Nimmo hit his first home run in weeks, breaking out of a slump caused by a stomach virus. * Despite a recent hitting slump, manager Carlos Mendoza praised McNeil's at-bats. * Harrison Bader was hit by a pitch in the 10th inning, adding pressure to the Mets' upcoming four-game series.

New York Mets veteran Brandon Nimmo finally snapped his slump on Tuesday night, hitting his first home run in weeks. The outfielder had been struggling at the plate lately due to a stomach bug.

Despite his recent struggles, manager Carlos Mendoza has been praising Nimmo's at-bats. The second baseman has been working hard to improve his swing, and it's starting to show.

In the opener of a four-game series against the NL East rival Philadelphia Phillies, Harrison Bader was hit by a pitch leading off the 10th inning. This put two runners on base and increased the pressure on the Mets.

The Mets are hoping to continue their recent hot streak and make a run at the playoffs. Nimmo's return to form is a big boost for the team, and he'll need to continue to produce if the Mets want to reach their goals.
