The New York Mets advanced their season record to 75-64 by topping the Boston Red Sox with a 7-2 victory on Tuesday. This triumph places the Mets at the forefront of the MLB with the best record since May 30, boasting a stellar 53-31.
Francisco Lindor, New York’s standout shortstop and a contender for the NL MVP, played a pivotal role in the Mets’ victory. Lindor excelled, going 2 for 4, hitting a home run and a double, driving in three runs, scoring twice, and stealing a base.
A crucial moment came in the 8th inning when Lindor’s RBI double expanded the Mets’ narrow 3-2 lead, helping to secure the game.
Postgame, Lindor joined former Philadelphia Phillies star Jimmy Rollins on MLB on TBS Closer’s broadcast. Rollins, an NL MVP in 2007 and World Series champion in 2008 with the Phillies, had a strong track record against the Mets during his career.
Despite the rivalry, Lindor expressed admiration for Rollins. He credited Rollins and his contemporaries as inspirations, emphasizing the honor he feels playing shortstop for the Mets and his enjoyment of the game.
While Mets fans may hold reservations about Rollins due to his past performances against them, Lindor’s respectful acknowledgment highlights his sportsmanship and class.
