New York Mets Shortstop Francisco Lindor Continues To Be Engine Of Team

The New York Mets go as far as Francisco Lindor takes them. That is evident with a statistic from MLB’s Sarah Langs. New York has won 24 consecutive regular-season games when Lindor homers. That is the fourth-longest streak since 1900. He is a game behind Lou Gehrig(1927-28) and Ken Caminiti(1997-98) for second on the all-time list. Lindor has had a mediocre 2025 season. Lindor is hitting .273 with 10 home runs and 29 RBI. Will the New York Mets continue winning when Lindor goes deep?

New York Mets Season Summary

It has been a good start to the year for the Mets. They are second place in the National League East at 31-21. New York’s offense has been mediocre. They are 14th in batting average, 15th in home runs, and 14th in runs scored. First Baseman Pete Alonso has been the team’s best offensive player. He is 10th in the league in RBI.

The strength of the New York Mets in 2025 has been their pitching staff. They are leading the league in ERA, 14th in WHIP, and sixth in opposing batting average. New York has used a committee-like approach to succeed on the mound. No pitcher has stood out.

Final Thoughts

Lindor and the Mets return to the diamond this evening for the final game of their three-game set against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Lindor will look to continue swinging the bat well and leading New York to wins as they try and live up to lofty expectations.
