Francisco Lindor's two home runs, clutch defense key Mets' 4-2 win over Rockies in Friday's series opener
Speaking of getting the job done, shortstop Francisco Lindor flashed his bat and glove at pivotal points in the first, third and eighth innings. Offensively, that meant three hits -- and two home runs. Batting righty, Lindor set the tone with a leadoff dinger -- his fifth such long ball of the season -- when he sent Kyle Freeland's 1-2 fastball down the middle at 92 mph over the left-center wall. Two frames later, with the bases loaded and two outs, Lindor's leaping grab of Estrada's line drive to short saved Peterson from what would have likely at least been a two-run double in the gap. In the eighth with the Mets clinging to a 3-2 lead, Lindor batted lefty and launched Seth Halvorsen's 2-2 pitch at 89 mph just over the left-center railing for the exclamation mark. After a 4-for-25 homestand in the Mets' six games against the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago White Sox from last Friday through Wednesday, Lindor bounced back at the plate with his three-hit evening -- it included a third-inning single -- while upping this year's homer total to 12.
