A.J. Ewing Homers to Extend Hitting Streak in Mets Loss

A.J. Ewing continued his strong September rebound by going 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI single in Friday's 5-3 Subway Series loss to the Yankees. The 22-year-old rookie crushed a ninth-inning homer off David Bednar, extending his hitting streak to five games. Over that span, Ewing has produced two home runs and nine RBI.
