While their crosstown neighbors were enjoying a historic night of home runs and some overzealous, courageous fans, the Mets were having their own homer paw-ty on Tuesday.
With New York taking on the Nationals (+1.5) and starter Paolo Espino in the second game of a doubleheader, the first three people in the Mets’ lineup — Brandon Nimmo, Franciso Lindor, and Jeff McNeil — wasted no time shelling the pitcher. After Nimmo launched a solo shot to give the Mets an early 1-0 lead in the first inning, Lindor would follow with his own homer. As would McNeil.
