Robinson Cano was coming home to New York, but struggled to find his way there.
The Mets’ new second baseman got back to the clubhouse at Citi Field around 3 a.m. Thursday after the team’s late flight from Miami, then had to drive home. The former Yankee got lost, with one GPS sending him on a wrong route, forcing him to switch apps to finally arrive at his destination and get to sleep around 5 a.m., he said.
When it finally came time for his home debut in Flushing — after being introduced to the sellout crowd with a “Welcome to Queens,” by radio voice Howie Rose — Cano couldn’t send the fans home happy, going 0-for-3 with a walk in the Mets’ 4-0 loss to the Nationals.
