New York Mets infielder Brett Baty batted ninth against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday, but he was the team's best hitter. The 25-year-old went 2-for-4 with three RBI, including a two-run single that put New York up 3-1 in the seventh. It eventually won 5-1.

Brett Baty drove in three runs on two hits, including a two-run single to break a seventh-inning tie and help the New York Mets avert a three-game sweep by beating the Boston Red Sox 5-1 on Wednesday night.

It's never good to overreact to one game, but the quality of pitchers Baty was facing also can't be ignored. Not only is Crochet incredibly tough against lefties, but so is Brennan Bernardino, whom Baty drilled the go-ahead hit against.
