Wright focused on trying to not do too much
Above him, the lineup card has changed almost nightly. The Mets have received almost no production out of their leadoff hitters this season and have gone long stretches without production from the two-hole as well. Through it all, third hitter David Wright has tried to not do more than he is capable.

Rocky first inning costs Mets in loss to Reds
On a daily basis at Citi Field, a complete and utter lack of offense continues to undermine the Mets. And so they continue to lose, despite obvious improvements in their rotation and bullpen. All it takes these days is one mistake for the Mets to suffer defeat. Tuesday's blunder came in the first inning of a 4-0 loss to the Reds, when Todd Frazier's ground ball scooted through the legs of third baseman David Wright.

Middle of Reds' order could mean trouble for Mets
Although running into All-Star Joey Votto, who is fresh off leading the Majors with a .583 batting average last week, should be a concern for Jon Niese and the Mets as they get ready for the second game of the three-game set on Tuesday, the biggest problem for them might be that Votto has plenty of help.

Hot-hitting Murphy does it again in Mets' win
The Mets slid Daniel Murphy into the leadoff spot on Sunday in hopes that he could provide the slumping offense with some timely hitting. So far the role suits him just fine. Murphy hit a go-ahead solo home run in the eighth, capping a late rally for a 4-3 victory and series win over the Cubs.
