If only this performance was taking place in Queens.
Ronny Mauricio delivered an electrifying display for the Syracuse Mets on Tuesday, launching three home runs in a commanding 12-3 victory against the Worcester Red Sox.
Mauricio’s impressive feat marked the 17th instance in Syracuse franchise history where a player has achieved a three-homer game, a milestone last reached by Trayce Thompson on May 17, 2024.
This performance is a continuation of Mauricio’s exceptional start to the minor league season.
He kicked off his trio of home runs in the fourth inning, sending Isaac Coffey’s 1-0 slider soaring over the right-center field wall.
Mauricio hit his second of the evening when he sent a ball over the center field wall in the top of the fifth inning for a two-run homer that helped the Mets open up a 5-0 lead.Â
Three innings later, he completed the hat trick when he sent another ball to center field, which struck a screen, to give the Mets a 12-1 lead.Â
Mauricio now has five home runs in his last four games and six total homers since the start of the minor league season.Â
The third baseman has 17 hits on the season, with 13 RBIs, five stolen bases and a batting average of .315.Â
It’s been a wild ride to start the 2026 MLB season for Maurio. He was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse after a strong spring down in Port St. Lucie.Â
The Mets then called him up on April 6 after Juan Soto was put on the injured list and the next day, he recorded his first career walk-off hit in a win over the Diamondbacks.
It was the Mets’ last win as the big club extended their losing streak to 12 games with a 5-3 loss to the Twins at Citi Field on Tuesday night. They have scored one run of less six times during that stretch. Â
Mauricio was optioned back to Syracuse on April 13 in order to make room for Tommy Pham on the MLB roster.
