NEW YORK (AP) — Rookie Jeff McNeil homered in getting three more hits with his most unusual bat, leading Noah Syndergaard and the New York Mets over the Reds 6-4 in a matchup of struggling teams.
McNeil uses a bat that has no knob. Instead, it simply flares out at the end.
McNeil is hitting .364 after his first 12 games in the majors.
