Wilmer Flores arrived at Citi Field and saw he had been dropped to the bottom of the order, even below starting pitcher Jacob deGrom.

Mets manager Terry Collins slotted New York's top home run hitter ninth in the batting order for the first time in nearly a half-century and batted his pitcher eighth for the third time this season.

Flores responded with a grand slam in the 10-run fourth inning and DeGrom was 3-for-3 with three singles, including two in the big inning, as the Mets defeated the Brewers 14-1 on Saturday night.
