Brett Baty hit a two-run homer to trigger a comeback and scored the tiebreaking run in the eighth inning Monday night for the host New York Mets, who beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-5 in the opener of a three-game series.

The New York Mets have several of baseball's best players, but they also have an unexpected hero. Infielder Brett Baty is having a career year, and he continued his good form in Monday's 7-5 win over the Los Angeles Angels.

Juan Soto hit a tying single in the seventh inning, Francisco Alvarez delivered a big double in his return from the minors and the New York Mets rallied past the Los Angeles Angels 7-5.
