Francisco Lindor likely won’t be named this year’s National League MVP, but it would be hard to find a more MVP-like performance from a player this season than Lindor had on Sunday.
The shortstop recorded two hits, two stolen bases, an RBI and a home run—all with a hurt back, and all in the most important game of the season for the Mets so far.
And all his contributions were needed in the Mets 5-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field on Sunday. Lindor had the star performance, but the other Francisco coming off an injury played a huge role, as well.
