“Lindor crushed a pitch from the Twins’ Simeon Woods Richardson into the second deck in right field at Citi Field, giving the Mets a 3-0 lead over Minnesota in the third inning with his second home run of the season.”
CORROBORATED
The claim is directly supported by a web search result detailing the specific event (Lindor hitting a homer off Woods Richardson at Citi Field, giving a 3-0 lead in the third inning). While the other evidence sources are general or relate to different dates/teams, the specific details of the claim are corroborated by the web search result.

“Everything started in the third with a single from Mark Vientos, and after Carson Benge grounded into a fielder’s choice and Marcus Semien walked.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim describes a sequence of events (Vientos single, Benge fielder's choice, Semien walk) that is partially supported by web search results mentioning Vientos and Benge's fielder's choice, but the specific combination of all three actions occurring in the third inning as described is not confirmed by multiple independent sources. The evidence is limited to web search snippets.
