Lindor's Monster HR Sparks Mets Rally

0:00On April 22nd, Francisco Lindor just dropped a monster home run for the Mets, smashing a fastball from Simeon Woods Richardson into the second deck at City Field. This was his second homer of the season, coming in the third inning against the twins and putting New York up three nothing early. After an 11-game losing skid, Lindor had preached sticking together, and now he's backing it up with the bat. The rally kicked off with a single from Mark Vientos, followed by a fielders' choice and a walk to Marquis Simeon, loading things up for Lindor. He'd been scuffling hard, hitting just 205 with the 600 OPS and struggling even more with runners on base. But he battled to a full count and unleashed on that pitch, flipping the script right there. Fans at a quiet city field finally had something to roar about. One dude even rocked a grimace costume, shouting out last year's magic. Cheers filled the air. A total vibe shift from the frustration of straining runners earlier, like when Boba Shet got stuck on first.

1:00Lindor needed this bad too. His early season slumps at the plate had spilled over to mental errors in the field and on the bases. This blast quiet some of that noise and gives the whole team a boost. With Lindor finding his groove, the Mets might just turn this rough patch around, starting with real momentum on the diamond.
