It was another nail-biting finish for Francisco Lindor and the New York Mets on Tuesday, but this time they emerged victorious for the second time in a row against their divisional rivals, the Washington Nationals. While Mets fans erupted at Nationals Park, Lindor’s greatest supporter, his wife Katia was celebrating just as enthusiastically.
Although Katia was not present at Nationals Park, she took to Instagram to repost a video and a photo on her story showing her husband’s incredible feat.
Lindor, who went 2-for-5 and had a lead-off double, scoring a solo home run off a pitch from DJ Herz in the sixth inning. The exit velocity of the home run was 100.5 mph, which went to a distance of 403 feet, landing in the left-field stands. This elite performance from the shortstop helped the Mets clutch a second 10th-inning victory over the Nationals by 7-2.
This was not the first time Katia was seen supporting her husband. She was present in the stands of London Stadium during the series against the Philadelphia Phillies on Jun. 8. Apart from this, she supports Lindor through social media posts and sometimes also through her podcast: “Un a Parent."
