Mets third baseman David Wright has struggled on the team's recent home stand, but he won't blame his back discomfort for the slump. "There's a difference between being banged up and being hurt," he said. Wright is just 3-for-16 on the home stand. "I do believe it has something to do with it," manager Terry Collins said. "But David Wright will never make it as an excuse ... I happen to think there's got to be something, because this guy is just too good a hitter to run through the streak he's going through."
