Indians' Francisco Lindor: Goes yard for fifth time in 2017

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the White Sox.

Analysis:

The shortstop's fourth-inning shot tied him with Jose Ramirez for the team lead in home runs with five. Lindor is off to a powerful start in comparison to previous campaigns. In 2015 and 2016, it took him 165 and 237 plate appearances, respectively, to reach five homers. This year, he got there in just 82 chances. Last season saw Lindor heat up with the weather, so this quick jump out of the gate has given the 23-year-old a head start on putting up big-time numbers in 2017.
