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.

Rotowire
Lindor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Diamondbacks.
His sixth-inning shot off Ryne Nelson tied the game at 2-2, setting the stage for some Jose Iglesias heroics in the top of the ninth. Lindor has hit safely in nine straight games, continuing a red-hot August that has seen the shortstop slash .330/.370/.580 through 26 contests with six homers, three steals, 16 RBI and 20 runs. He sits two home runs and five stolen bases short of his second straight 30-30 campaign.
Lindor went 2-for-5 with two homers and five RBI in Saturday's win over the Padres.
Lindor jumped on a hanging sweeper from Michael King with two outs in the top of the fourth and sent it into the stands for a grand slam, putting the Mets up 5-0. The shortstop wasn't done there, however, launching another home run off Yuki Matsui to lead off the seventh to give him his fifth long ball this month. It was Lindor's fourth multi-home run game of the campaign while his five RBI on the night marked a season high. He's already recorded 12 multi-hit performances this month, including five over his last eight games.
Lindor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Orioles.
Lindor opened the scoring in the third inning Wednesday, leading off the frame with an opposite-field blast off Cole Irvin, his 25th homer of the year. Lindor now has at least 25 homers and 25 steals in back-to-back seasons and three times in his 10-year MLB career. The shortstop has been red hot, going 23-for-64 (.359) with a 1.006 OPS over his last 15 contests. Lindor's boosted his slash line to .266/.339/.477 on the campaign with 85 runs scored and 73 RBI across 579 plate appearances.
Lindor went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Marlins.
He led off the game by driving a fastball from Max Meyer over the wall in right-center field, giving Luis Severino all the run support he would need as the right-hander pitched a shutout. Lindor extended his hitting streak to 11 games in the process, and he's reached base safely in every contest so far in August, slashing .338/.386/.508 with two homers, two steals, eight RBI and 12 runs in 15 games. The shortstop needs just one more home run and one more stolen base to record his third career 25-25 campaign.

Mets' Francisco Lindor: Plates two, swipes 24th bag
Rotowire
Lindor went 2-for-5 with two RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Rockies.
Lindor singled in his first trip to the plate and stole second before coming around to score the Mets' first run of the game on a knock from Pete Alonso. The shortstop then came through in the clutch in his final at-bat, recording a two-RBI single in the ninth to break the tie and give New York a 4-2 lead. Lindor has now hit safely in five of his first six games to open the month of August, posting three RBI, four runs and two stolen bases over that brief stretch. He's also posted multiple hits in three of his last nine contests, though he's still looking for his first extra-base hit this month.
