The Mariners are getting what the Mets wanted from Jay Bruce and Anthony Swarzak.

Baseball’s hottest team has an unexpected 11-2 record, tops in the big leagues, thanks to a pair of ex-Met afterthoughts who both played roles in the Mariners’ fourth-straight win, 6-3 over the Royals on Tuesday night.

Bruce smacked his seventh dinger against Royals right-hander Jakob Junis, tying him for first in the majors with Dodgers slugger Cody Bellinger. But it comes with a caveat: He’s hitting .188 with seven of his nine hits coming via the long ball.

“I feel like there’s a lot more for me in the tank this season as far as just playing, just overall,” Bruce said, via MLB. “I try to turn the page as quickly as I can after anything happens, whether good or bad. I’m just looking forward to the next game.”

Bruce was expected to fill a few positional needs for the Mets in right field and first base when he signed a three-year, $39 million deal with the Mets in 2018, but injuries sidetracked his season. He hit a lousy .223 with just nine home runs and a whopping 75 strikeouts in 94 games.

Like Bruce, Swarzak was supposed to play a role as the bridge of the Mets bullpen last year, but he was plagued by injuries and poor performances. But he’s found himself as the Mariners’ early-season closer in filling Edwin Diaz’s role. Swarzak notched his second save Tuesday. He’s been flawless in limited work, striking out three while surrendering just one hit in 2 2/3 innings pitched.

The Mariners acquired both Bruce and Swarzak, and a slew of prospects, in the offseason mega-deal that sent Robinson Cano and Diaz to the Mets.

The Mariners are still waiting on hard-throwing reliever Gerson Bautista, who’s been rehabbing in Arizona after injuring his pectoral in spring training. Top prospects Jarred Kelenic and Justin Dunn have both gotten off to rusty starts.

Kelenic, considered the jewel of the trade, has two hits in 22 at-bats in Low-A with the West Virginia Power while Dunn is winless in two starts, but has 13 strikeouts in 8 2/3 innings pitched with Double-A Arkansas.
