With two runners on and the Mets winning 2-0 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Lindor hit Ruiz’s second pitch, a heater right down the middle, 412 feet to dead center for a three-run home run. It was his second home run of the game, his 20th career multi-home run game, and his fifth home run of the season.

The Mets held on to beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-4, on Monday night to notch their fifth consecutive win.

Francisco Lindor homered twice Monday night and Tylor Megill dominated the visiting Philadelphia Phillies for 5 1/3 innings as the New York Mets opened an early-season showdown of National League East rivals with a 5-4 victory.
