Kemp started the first game of Saturday's doubleheader and went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI in a 12-8 win over the Mets.
Kemp was called up from Triple-A Fresno when rosters expanded and put to work immediately. With Carlos Beltran (foot) unavailable, manager A.J. Hinch utilized the designated hitter spot to give his plethora of outfielders at-bats through both games of the twin bill. When all hands are on deck and no doubleheaders are scheduled, Kemp is not expected to play much more than two games per week.
