Bailey hits massive grand slam to propel comeback
Patrick Bailey went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and stolen base in the Giants 8-7 win over the Mets on Friday. Bailey silenced the crowd in Queens and turned a three-run deficit into a lead the Giants wouldn’t relinquish. Fantasy managers certainly love the unexpected stolen base too, a heady move by Bailey with Edwin Díaz on the mound who struggles to hold runners on. Something seems to have clicked for Bailey who’s carrying an .847 OPS this season and has the underlying metrics to match this breakout.
Vientos hits home run, scores two runs in loss
Mark Vientos 1-for-4 with a walk, home run, and two runs scored in a loss to the Giants on Friday. Vientos has all but usurped Brett Baty at third base for the Mets, starting six out of nine games, homering three times, and sporting a 1.167 OPS in 35 at-bats this season. Manager Carlos Mendoza told the media Baty would get a start this weekend, but Vientos’ hot streak is giving him little choice in the matter.
