Francisco Lindor haunted the Phillies again on Monday, just as he did in the playoffs last year. He homered twice, including a three-run shot in the seventh inning.

The Philadelphia Phillies face the New York Mets in an MLB game on Monday, April 21, 2025 (4/1/25) at Citi Field in Queens, New York.

Nola is going through it. He is only the fourth Phillies pitcher in the last 50 years to lose his first five starts of a season.

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.

Francisco Lindor hit two more home runs, including a leadoff shot for the second consecutive day, and the New York Mets held off the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 on Monday night in the first meeting this season between the NL East rivals.
