After stumbling out of the gate last season, the star shortstop and his team are lighting up Citi Field.
Francisco Lindor belted a grand slam as the Mets advanced to the NL Championship Series for the first time since 2015 with 4-1 win over the Phillies.
Three years after a hard introduction to the realities of being a star in the Big Apple, Lindor has earned the M-V-P chants surrounding his at-bats at Citi Field.
Francisco Lindor hit a two-run homer in the ninth to cap a wild 8-7 win vs. the Braves in which the Mets clinched a playoff spot with all of their runs over the final two innings.
Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor was in the on-deck circle ready to pinch hit when New York made the final out of a 5-1 loss to the Braves and could return to the lineup Wednesday.
Shortstop Francisco Lindor said he is "optimistic" he will play again for the New York Mets before the regular season concludes next Sunday, stopping short of saying he is 100% confident he will return from a back injury over the club's final six games.
