Francisco Lindor showcased his big-game ability, hitting a two-run homer and a crucial double in the Mets' 7-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox, reinforcing his NL MVP candidacy.
Leading the Mets to their sixth straight win, Lindor continues to excel, boasting 30 home runs and 26 stolen bases this season. Despite a rough start, his late-season performance has made him a formidable MVP contender.
Amid strong competition from Shohei Ohtani, who has had a historic offensive campaign, Lindor's all-around contributions set him apart. His exceptional defense and leadership further bolster his case for the award.
Boston's manager Alex Cora praised Lindor's impact, emphasizing his unique energy and the joy he brings to the game, while acknowledging the challenge of the MVP race with so many outstanding talents.
