The running joke between Buck Showalter and Jeff McNeil is that the ball is going to be hit wherever it needs to go to test McNeil’s leg.
Stick McNeil at second base and he will need to charge a grounder and make an off-balance throw, as he did a couple days ago. Slide McNeil to left field and he will have to run back to the warning track to make the catch, as he did in the first inning Sunday.
By then, McNeil had already done his damage. After Pete Alonso reached second base on an error leading off the fourth, McNeil pulled a tie-breaking RBI double into the right-field corner. Eduardo Escobar followed with his third home run in as many games to make it 4-1. McNeil returned to the No. 8 hole on June 28 — a spot that he has occupied 18 times but that doesn’t maximize his .360 batting average with runners on base. He was 1-for-12 since his return before the 100th double of his career.
