New York Mets Shortstop Francisco Lindor hit a walk-off home run Friday night against the St. Louis Cardinals. He made history in his process. Lindor’s home run was the 250th of his illustrious career. He is the 25th player in league history to reach that milestone.
Lindor was the first player in MLB history to hit a walk-off home run for his 250th career long ball. The perennial All-Star has struggled at the plate this year. He is hitting .263 with 2 home runs and 8 RBI. Will Friday night’s heroics help Lindor get going on offense?
New York Mets Season Summary
The Mets had a busy offseason. It has translated to on-field success. They are leading the National League East with a 13-7 record. New York’s offense has been middling. They are 21st in batting average, 22nd in home runs, and 17th in runs scored. First Baseman Pete Alonso has been one of the best hitters in baseball this year. He is seventh in batting average, third in RBI, and 2nd in OPS.
New York’s success has been on the back of its pitching staff. That is great news because their pitching staff has been injury-riddled this season. The Mets are leading the league in ERA, seventh in opposing batting average, and seventh in WHIP. Starting Pitcher Kodai Senga has led the charge. He is 2-1 with a 1.06 ERA.
Final Thoughts
The New York Mets return to the diamond this afternoon against the St. Louis Cardinals for the third game of their four-game set. Senga toes the slab today looking to continue his great start. Lindor will also look to get going at the plate as he hopes to lead the New York Mets on a deep playoff run.
