Francisco Lindor drove in his 40th RBI on Tuesday night with a home run, second on the team behind Pete Alonso (46). New York joins the Texas Rangers as the only teams that feature two players with 40 or more RBI so far this season.
Brett Baty is back in the starting lineup, batting fifth, after sitting out the last two games.
With another home run on Tuesday night, the Mets have gone deep in 13 consecutive contests, hitting 22 long balls during that span. If they go yard again on Wednesday night, they will have tied the second-longest home run streak in franchise history.
