Baty’s Grand Slam Sets Mets on Fire | MLB News

Brett Baty crushed his first career grand slam to ignite the Mets’ 8-5 win over the Braves, setting the tone for a dominant performance that marks their sixth win in seven games. Francisco Lindor added a long homer and two RBIs, while Jared Young drove in two runs. The game’s drama began with a disputed double play call in the first inning — which was overturned — before Baty’s bomb gave New York a five-run lead. Despite a late Braves rally, led by Mauricio Dubón and Drake Baldwin, the Mets held strong. Daniel Duarte earned the win with two scoreless innings, and Kodai Senga snagged his first career save in Devin Williams’ absence. With momentum building, the Mets face Martín Pérez in Game 2 as Nolan McLean takes the mound for New York. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
