NEW YORK — DJ Stewart had his first multihomer game in two years on Wednesday, leading the New York Mets to an 8-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Stewart, who homered as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning Tuesday before singling off Pirates closer David Bedard in the ninth inning of a 7-4 loss, hit a solo shot in the second inning Wednesday off Johan Oviedo (6-13) and delivered a two-run homer in the fifth off Ryan Borucki.
"I'm trying to be ready whenever my name is called," said Stewart, who was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on July 4.
