It was his fourth of the year.
Before being promoted to the St. Lucie Mets, Tebow logged more than 200 at-bats and posted a subpar .648 OPS. But still decent number for somebody who was away from the game for 11 years. He also has a .879 fielding percentage and 14 doubles, three home runs and 22 RBIs in 63 games.
The Mets lost the second game 5-3 after dropping the opener 5-2 in front of 2,315 fans. Tebow finished the two game 3-for-5, a homer, two RBIs and a walk.
