April is a hopeful time for all baseball fans, and those who follow the New York Mets have reason to be optimistic after the team's fast start.
The Mets cruised to a 10-3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the home opener at Citi Field on Friday afternoon.
Pete Alonso lofted a pair of early sacrifice flies for New York , which has the most wins in the majors. Travis Jankowski, subbing in center field after two Mets outfielders went on the COVID-19 injured list, had three hits. Batting left-handed, Lindor chased Zach Davies with a two-run drive into the second deck in right field that made it 5-0 in the fifth. The $341 million shortstop followed Marte's three-run homer in the eighth with a shot to left off reliever Caleb Smith.
Marte, who signed a $78 million, four-year contract as a free agent in November, also stole a base and scored three times. He finished with three hits.
