Fernando Tatis Jr. supplied both power and defense in the Padres' 5-2 win over the Mets on Tuesday night in New York. He hit two home runs and later made a key play in the field, robbing Francisco Lindor of a grand slam in the second inning.
Tatis connected on the first pitch he saw from Zac Thornton for a 452-foot homer in the first inning, then added a two-run homer off Thornton in the fifth. The game marked his 14th career two-homer performance, which ties him for second in Padres franchise history.
His biggest moment came in right field, where he jumped at the wall and pulled Lindor's drive back into play as the ball was about to clear the fence. Tatis said the defensive play was the more enjoyable part of the night, and pitcher Robbie Ray called it an impressive athletic effort.
塔提斯两轰又上演扑出满贯炮，助教士5比2击败大都会
塔提斯二世在周二晚纽约进行的比赛中，既用长打也用防守帮助教士以5比2击败大都会。他先后击出两支全垒打，随后又在第二局完成一次关键守备，阻止了林多尔的一记满贯本垒打。
塔提斯在首局面对扎克·桑顿的第一球就轰出一支452英尺全垒打，之后又在第五局从桑顿手中打出一支两分炮。这也是他职业生涯第14次单场双响炮，在教士队史上并列第二。
他当晚最重要的一次表现出现在右外野。他在墙边起跳，把林多尔几乎越墙而出的飞球拉回场内。塔提斯说，这次防守比本垒打更让他觉得有意思，投手罗比·雷也称这是一记非常出色的运动能力展示。
