NEW YORK — Brett Baty struggled in the early part of the season. So much so that when the Mets needed to send a player down to make room for second baseman Jeff McNeil, who was being activated off the IL on April 24, Baty got the call.

Lindor thought of his wife and mom after homering on Mother’s Day, but he also took inspiration from a recent failure.

Driving in five of the Mets' six runs, Baty also hit two of his four home runs this season. The first was a three-run shot in the fourth inning that pulled the Mets within a run. His second homer of the game went the opposite way for a two-run shot.
