When Mets third baseman Todd Frazier stepped to the plate in the bottom of the fourth inning on Sunday at Citi Field, he took note of the Tigers’ defensive shift. There was one out, and the Mets, who were trailing, 3-0, had runners at first and third. Frazier pounced with his hands choked up on the bat, pushing a bunt through the hole into right field, driving in Dominic Smith. The ball rolled so far that Wilson Ramos, a catcher whose speed could be measured with dripping molasses, went from first to third. “Buffalo even made it to third, so I guess it was that good of a bunt,” Frazier said, using Ramos’s affectionate nickname.
