No doubt you heard people say this week that trading for Jay Bruce was an insurance policy for the New York Mets should Yoenis Cespedes leave after this season. As it turns out, Bruce is also a pretty darn good option when Cespedes is put on the disabled list and the Mets need that thump in their offense.
Bruce delivered just that Thursday night, knocking a three-run homer in the fifth inning — his first as a Met — to help his new squad to a 4-1 victory against those cross-city rivals, the New York Yankees.
He was pretty psyched about it too, telling reporters it felt like his first time.

Jay Bruce said his blast tonight "felt like my first Major League home run." #Mets

Awww, how sweet. Bruce definitely impressed some people, including the Twitter-witty Mets flamethrower Noah Syndergaard.

In Metsland, Bruce having a big night was also a welcome relief from the talk about whether Cespedes hurt himself playing golf.
