It’s been a whirlwind 24 hours for Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor, who missed his first start in a year Saturday after his wife, Katia, gave birth to the couple’s second daughter.
On Sunday, Lindor fittingly made his return on Father’s Day for Game 3 of the Mets’ series against the Cardinals, and he celebrated the occasion in style with his first at-bat.
Lindor stepped to the plate with New York trailing 2–0 in bottom of the first inning, and the four-time All-Star narrowed the Mets’ deficit with a 401-foot solo home run that sailed deep over the left-field wall, giving the proud girl dad his 13th homer of the season to further commemorate a special day.
