Francisco Lindor hits a leadoff home run against Freddy Peralta during the right-hander’s first game against the Mets since a trade deadline deal. Peralta, formerly with the Mets, is making the start as Tampa Bay faces New York.
Both outlets describe the same key moment: Lindor takes Peralta deep early, setting the tone before the game settles into its broader matchup. The coverage centers on the timing of Peralta’s return to face his former team and the immediate impact Lindor has in that setting. Beyond the homer, the reports provide limited additional game details, so the main emphasis remains on the trade context and the first meeting between Lindor and Peralta in their post-deal roles.
