Brett Baty Homers, Gets on Base Three Times in Loss
Brett Baty went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in a 7-5 extra-innings loss to the Dodgers on Friday. It's the second straight multi-hit game for the left-handed hitter, a much-needed burst of offense that comes on the heels of a 1-for-15 (.067) stretch at the plate. Still, five of his six home runs and 11 of his 15 RBI have come in the last two weeks since the 6-foot-3 slugger's recall from Triple-A. Baty was not in the original lineup on Friday as he replaced Mark Vientos, who was scratched with abdominal soreness, but if Vientos remains out, Baty would get the nod against Tony Gonsolin on Saturday, whom he's seen just once in his career (0-for-1, K). Gonsolin allowed four earned runs on four hits and five walks his last time out and is allowing an .871 OPS to left-handed hitters in four starts this season compared to .556 against right-handed hitters, so Baty could be in play as a cheap DFS option.
