Francisco Lindor is officially the Mets’ biggest bopper of the year.
Well, he’s tied for the crown, anyway.
Lindor’s two home runs powered the Mets (51-48) to a 6-4 victory over the Marlins Monday night in Miami. His second home run of the night—an opposite-field shot in the top of the ninth—was his 19th of the season, tying Pete Alonso for the team lead.
“As soon as I hit it, I said ‘I think I got that pretty good,” Lindor said.
The should-have-been All-Star went 2-for-4 with two RBI and now leads all National League shortstops in home runs, passing Elly De La Cruz.
