Baez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Monday's 10-2 loss to the Phillies.

The long ball was Baez's second of the year and came in the fifth inning off starter Vince Velasquez. The Chicago utility man was filling in at shortstop for the resting Addison Russell. Inconsistent playing time may be the reason for Baez's slow start (.222/.275/.397), but this game was a good sign for him moving forward. The 24-year-old hasn't had much success against lefties this year, hitting just .100 against them (2-for-20).
