New York Mets centerfielder Luis Robert Jr. crushed his second home run of the year to get the Mets going in the first inning.

Robert Jr. is having quite the start to the season. In his first season with the Mets, he is batting .351 with 13 hits, seven RBIs and two homers. He has a hit in eight out of 13 games this season, and has reached base safely in 10 games.

Robert Jr. has had quite the transformation since being traded to the Mets. He was acquired back on Jan. 20 from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Luisangel Acuna and a prospect. Robert Jr. struggled in his last season with the White Sox, putting up a career low in batting average and slugging percentage.

The Mets currently sit at 7-5 and are third in the NL Central.
