Freese, Barnes homer as Dodgers rally to beat Mets 11-4

Committed to the defensive side of his game this year, even while his offense floundered, Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes was finally rewarded for his patience. Barnes hit just his second home run of the season and first since May 3, while also helping starting pitcher Rich Hill turn his night around as the Dodgers erased an early four-run deficit to defeat the New York Mets 11-4 on Tuesday. David Freese hit his first homer with his new club and the Dodgers remained a half-game behind first-place Colorado in the NL West.
