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.

Brett Baty belted two home runs and drove in a career-high five runs to sustain his recent run of offensive success on Saturday against the CUbs.

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