Fernando Tatis Jr. robs Francisco Lindor of a grand slam after hitting a 452 ft. home run himself
The Padres outfielder pulled double duty on Tuesday night.
San Diego Padres' Fernando Tatis Jr. stole the show on Tuesday night, not only hitting a 452-foot home run against the New York Mets but also stealing a grand slam from the New York Mets' star shortstop, Francisco Lindor. Tatis Jr. began his impressive night with a powerful blast to left center in the first inning, putting San Diego ahead 1-0.
Later, in the second inning, the bases were loaded for the Mets, with Lindor at the plate. The 91 mph sinker soared to the right field, seemingly destined for a home run. However, Tatis Jr. swarmed to the wall, leaping to rob the ball, earning him the title of grand slam robber. Tatis Jr.'s double duty not only helped San Diego avoid a crucial early setback but also showed his resilience after a brutal home run slump at the beginning of the season.
