Tatis’ glove and bat were on display Tuesday night in a 5-2 win over the Mets as the 27-year-old robbed New York’s Francisco Lindor of a grand slam in between hitting two homers. Tatis hit the first pitch from New York’s Zac Thornton 452 feet into the second deck in left field before adding a two-run homer off Thornton in the fifth. He has 15 homers after opening the season without a longball in his first 238 at-bats. But Tatis’ biggest contribution in the game came in the field in the second inning, when reached over the wall in in right field and pulled back Lindor’s potential slam.
