In a tense game, the Mets overcame a sixth-inning error from Mark Vientos that allowed the Pirates to tie by showcasing resilience through Brett Baty's seventh-inning home run. Baty, who had previously been sent down to the minors, made an impactful return with his fourth homer since rejoining the team. While the Mets struggled against Pirates pitcher Mitch Keller, who struck out eight, Senga maintained composure on the mound until a pivotal sixth inning. The Mets' victory underscored Baty's importance to the team's offensive success and his turnaround after a challenging start.
On a night when one of the Mets third basemen helped blow a lead by quite literally letting a ball go through his glove, their other third baseman - trying to claw his way back into the lineup by playing a variety of positions - picked him up the next frame with a decisive homer.
But in the seventh, Brett Baty, dumped to the minors last month before orchestrating a tear in his six games since returning, crushed a ball over the left field fence to lift the Mets to a 2-1 win.
It marked Baty's fourth homer since being called back up and contributed to a key win for the Mets against the Pirates, showcasing his improved performance.
Despite struggling earlier in the season, Baty's return to form is crucial for the Mets' lineup, demonstrating resilience in overcoming previous setbacks.
