Francisco Lindor homers twice as Mets survive late rally to beat Phillies for fifth straight win

The Mets have found success at home this season, with Francisco Lindor leading the charge. While struggling on the road, Lindor has been exceptional at Citi Field, acting like Superman for the team. In a recent game against the Phillies, Lindor hit two home runs in a 5-4 victory, extending the Mets’ winning streak to five games. All of Lindor’s five home runs this season have been hit at home, showcasing his dominance at Citi Field.

Lindor’s performance, including a three-run blast in the seventh inning, has been crucial for the Mets as they faced the Phillies in a significant series. The team has a strong record of 10 wins out of 11 games at Citi Field this season. On the pitching side, Tylor Megill delivered an impressive performance, maintaining a low ERA and striking out 10 batters in 5 ¹/₃ scoreless innings against the Phillies.

Despite a challenge from the Phillies in the third inning, Megill managed to strike out Kyle Schwarber with the bases loaded. Lindor set the tone early in the game with a leadoff home run, while Jesse Winker added to the lead with a home run in the second inning. The Mets faced some tense moments, including a disputed home run by Juan Soto that was overturned after a review.

In the end, the Mets secured the win with Lindor’s stellar hitting and a strong pitching performance. Max Kranick faced some trouble in the ninth inning but Edwin Díaz came in for the save, sealing the victory for the Mets.
