Game 3 of the National League Division Series between the New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies will take place on Tuesday.
The series is tied 1-1 after the Phillies defeated the Mets on Sunday by a score of 7-6.
After being on the road for 2 weeks, the Mets will return to Citi Field to play game 3 in front of their home fans.
According to Anthony DiComo on ‘X,’ Francisco Lindor reveals his thoughts on returning home after 2 straight weeks of getting booed on the road.

Lindor added some humor to his comments on returning home to Citi Field for game 3 of the National League Division Series.
He explained that they better play well at home otherwise they will get booed there too.
Lindor has made a case for himself to be in the Most Valuable Player conversation.
During the regular season, Lindor batted .273 with 33 home runs, 91 runs batted in, and a .844 on-base plus slugging percentage.
Lindor has continued to be productive thus far in the postseason as he has 4 hits in 17 at-bats with 5 runs scored.
Ideally, the Mets hope they can win the next 2 games at home to take the series over the Phillies and avoid going back to Citizens Bank Park for game 5.
The Mets are looking to advance to their first National League Championship Series since 2015 and win their first World Series since 1986.
Lindor has been great not only offensively, but at shortstop as well.
If the Mets can take game 3 from the Phillies, they will look to clinch the series on Wednesday at Citi Field.
