Mets’ Brandon Nimmo finding groove batting in front of Juan Soto, Pete Alonso: 'It's been really nice'

Brandon Nimmo’s early-season struggles appear to officially be behind him.

The left-handed hitting outfielder lifted another home run during Thursday afternoon’s win over the Nationals at Citi Field — helping the Mets secure their sixth consecutive victory and back-to-back series sweeps.

Nimmo’s now gone deep three times over the last two games, and he’s driven in a total of 14 runs against Washington this season.

“You always love to have the results,” he told SNY’s Steve Gelbs postgame. “It’s nice to have the process and we keep trusting it. Fortunately I’ve been here long enough that I understand how Citi Field plays early in the summer and it’s fun starting to see the ball fly now.

“It’s just about trusting the process and now we’re getting some good results.”

While some of those results certainly have to be credited to the ball carrying more — you also have to give a tip of the cap to manager Carlos Mendoza for flipping the order around when the Mets needed a spark.

Nimmo appeared to be trying to do too much out of the cleanup spot — but he’s quickly found himself a new home, setting the table for Juan Soto and Pete Alonso in the second spot in the order.

After picking up two more knocks on Thursday, the 32-year-old is now hitting .381 with three doubles, four homers, eight RBI, a .458 on-base percentage, and a 1.196 OPS in 12 games in the two-hole.

“It’s been really nice, I’ve been able to get on-base and contribute,” he said. “I’m just trying to help out however I can, whatever the situation dictates — but it’s always nice hitting in front of Soto and Alonso, they’re two of the best hitters in the game.”

And it’s not just Nimmo who has been enjoying the new configuration — as Soto is finally looking more and more like himself and Alonso continues picking up big hit after big hit when this group needs it the most.

Jeff McNeil has been on an absolute tear of late as well — lifting a homer of his own Thursday to bring his OPS up to .911 on the season.

They’ll look to keep the good times rolling during a weekend set with the red-hot Tampa Bay Rays.
