The New York Mets are on the brink of advancing to the next phase of the MLB postseason after a convincing 7-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies at home, giving them a 2-1 lead in the series. Francisco Lindor continues to emerge as a key figure for the Mets.
In a game largely controlled by the Mets, Lindor was a standout player. While the Phillies dominated Game 2, this time New York demonstrated they are serious contenders in this postseason run.
After Game 3, Lindor expressed his excitement about representing the Mets: “It’s amazing. The fans put on a great show, the atmosphere was electric, and it’s fun to be here. I love representing the New York Mets.”
Lindor’s positive attitude has been a major boost for the team. Although his stats in Game 3 weren’t headline-grabbing, the energy he brought to the stadium and the fans played a significant role in the victory.
Lindor’s connection with Mets fans at an All-Time High
The relationship between Lindor and Mets fans is stronger than ever. One of the emotional highlights of the night was when Lindor took the field, with the crowd erupting in cheers.
Fans serenaded him after his month-long absence from Citi Field, and Lindor responded by helping lead the team to a crucial win that brings them closer to advancing in the postseason.
