With two runners on and the Mets winning 2-0 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Lindor hit Ruiz’s second pitch, a heater right down the middle, 412 feet to dead center for a three-run home run. It was his second home run of the game, his 20th career multi-home run game, and his fifth home run of the season.

Francisco Lindor hit two more home runs, including a leadoff shot for the second consecutive day, and the New York Mets held off the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 on Monday night in the first meeting this season between the NL East rivals.

Lindor jumped on a 2-2 knuckle-curve from Aaron Nola leading off and smashed it into the right field seats. Lindor joined Curtis Granderson (2017) and Kaz Matsui (2004) as the only Mets players with leadoff homers on consecutive days.
