The same day he was selected to start an all-star game for the first time, Francisco Lindor was removed from the leadoff spot in a major recession with New York Mets on Wednesday night.
And this step immediately paid.
After 191 consecutive starts at the top of the lineup, Lindor batted for the second time as a nominated hitter at the conclusion of a day-night doubleheader against Milwauki Broovers and his right-handed Jacob Mathoski.
Brandon Nimmo returned to the leadoff slot and launched a Grand Slam from Misiyorovski, who was hard-fanned in the second innings. Lindor gave Mets a 5–0 lead with his 17th home run, then an RBI single with two outs in the sixth.
A slippery Lindor 4 for 0 for 0 for 0 as 0 as 0 as 0 in the opener became only two hits, leaving 2 for 29 with a walk in his last seven matches. He was 8 years old in 15 games since 15 June before the nightcap, and his batting average. 289 to 7 June with .858 OPS. 258 with .255 to .255 to .255 with .255 fell to .766 with .766 OPS.
Nimmo was collided for the leadoffs, a role that he was transferred to Lindor from the third place in May 2024, the first of the Met’s manager Carlos Mendoza, switch-Hitter enjoyed the first lineup in his career with Cleveland citing success.
Due to this change, Lindor exited the recession for a long time and the mates closed after a pathetic start. Star Shortstop ended the runner-up for NL MVP for NL MVP last year, and New York scored a stunning playoff run before losing to Los Angeles Dojers in the National League Championship series.
Both Lindor and Met’s became much better than the gate this season, but New York (48–38) had four straight and 14 headings in the second game of Doubleheader.
In the results of Wednesday night’s announcement, Lindor made the Doshers’ finalist Muki Bates at Fan Belting to Shortstop for the National League at the 15 July showcase at Trust Park in Atlanta.
It marked the first all-star selection in five sessions with mates for Lindor, who signed a $ 341 million, 10-year contract with New York after being acquired from Cleveland in January 2021 business. He created four directly al-star teams with Cleveland from 2016-19-but never as a fan elected starter.
The previous Mets Shortstop in 2011 was Jose Reece to win an early all-star assignment.
The 12 shortstops selected for the NL All-Star Squad over the last four years over Lindor had nine different players, often a slow starter since he was involved in Mets. But he has ended in the top nine in each NL MVP in each of the last three years, and won the Silver Slices in 2023 and 2024.
