Mets' Francisco Lindor: Sparks win with homer No. 30
Rotowire
Lindor went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, two runs scored, three RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Red Sox.
The shortstop opened the scoring in the third inning with a two-run shot off Kutter Crawford -- the only hit the Mets would manage off the right-hander through six innings before pulling away against the Boston bullpen. Lindor might be the favorite for the NL MVP Award in a lot of years, but Shohei Ohtani's quest for a 50-50 campaign likely makes any other performance moot. Even so, Lindor's numbers are hard to ignore, as he's four steals away from his own 30-30 season, and three runs shy of reaching triple digits for the fourth time in his career.
