If only he were doing this in Queens.
Ronny Mauricio had a three-home run night for the Syracuse Mets on Tuesday in a 12-3 road win over the Worcester Red Sox .
The three-homer night by Mauricio was the 17th time in franchise history a Syracuse player has done it and the first since Trayce Thompson homered three times in a game on May 17, 2024.
It has continued Mauricio’s strong start to the minor league season.
His first home run of the night came in the top of the fourth when Mauricio sent a blast to right-center field on a 1-0 slider from Red Sox pitcher Isaac Coffey.
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.
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.
Mauricio now has five home runs in his last four games and six total homers since the start of the minor league season.
The third baseman has 17 hits on the season, with 13 RBIs, five stolen bases and a batting average of .315.
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.
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.
Mauricio was optioned back to Syracuse on April 13 in order to make room for Tommy Pham on the MLB roster.
