Padres Mets Baseball

Fernando Tatis Jr. robbed New York’s Francisco Lindor of a grand slam and hit two homers, leading the San Diego Padres to a 5-2 win over the Mets. Tatis hit the first pitch from Zac Thornton 452 feet into the second deck in left field for his team-record 18th career leadoff homer. Tatis added a two-run homer off Thornton in the fifth. He has 15 homers after opening the season without a longball in his first 238 at-bats. But, Tatis’ biggest contribution in the game came in the field in the second inning when reached over the wall in in right field and pulled back Lindor’s potential slam.
