Francisco Lindor had three hits, including an RBI single, and the New York Mets defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 5-1 on Tuesday night for their second six-game winning streak already this season. Phillies starter Cristopher Sánchez (2-1) was removed with left forearm soreness after laboring through two innings.

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.
