Baez went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored during an 11-9 win over the Nationals in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

The infielder didn't start the nightcap but went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter. Baez took Erick Fedde deep in the second inning to help the Mets build a 7-0 lead through three frames, but the New York bullpen squandered that cushion and the matinee wound up going to extra innings. Baez is batting .250 (11-for-44) with three of his 27 homers on the season in 12 games since returning from a back injury.
