Brett Baty Hits A Pair Of Home Runs, Drives In Five In Loss
Brett Baty belted a pair of home runs in a 2-for-5 day at the plate during Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Cubs. The first home run was a three-run shot, and the second was a two-run blast, giving him five RBI and two runs scored in the contest. It was the second consecutive game with a home run for the former first-round draft pick and the fourth of the season. Baty began the year with the Mets but was sent to Triple-A in late April, however, he was recalled this past Monday. After an 0-for-4 in his first game back, Baty is 4-for-8 with three home runs and six RBI in the last two games. Perhaps the 25-year-old goes on an offensive binge here, but caution is warranted as the left-handed slugger has been unable to maintain success at the major league level with a career .216/.280/.343 slash line over 672 plate appearances. He's eligible at both 2B and 3B on Yahoo! and available in most leagues for those willing to test their luck.
