Video: Mets' Rajai Davis Hits 3-Run HR in 1st AB After Wild Call-Up Journey

Rajai Davis wasted little time in making his presence felt on the New York Mets.

With two on and two out in the bottom of the eighth, Davis was inserted into the game as a pinch hitter against Nationals left-hander Sean Doolittle. That set the stage for an unbelievable moment:
