Brett Baty News: Coming alive during hitting streak

Baty went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Friday's win over the Cardinals.

After walking to lead off the third inning and promptly stealing second base, Baty later jump-started New York's two-run fifth frame with a leadoff double on a sharp line drive to right field. The 2019 first-rounder is getting opportunities at second base while Jeff McNeil (oblique) is on the injured list, and Baty is starting to come alive at the plate following a 3-for-27 start. During his current five-game hitting streak, he's batting .368 (7-for-19) with two RBI, two doubles, three runs scored and one stolen base.
