To no surprise, he hit .226 during that period. Since May 12, however, Lindor has walked 12 times in 71 plate appearances during a 16-game stretch in which he is hitting .309.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t really pay attention that much to numbers,\u201d Lindor said. \u201cFor me, it\u2019s swinging at the pitches I want to swing at and putting them in play. I wasn\u2019t doing that earlier. The ones I don\u2019t want, I\u2019m staying away from those. That sums up everything that\u2019s happening right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Mets had just surrendered a 1-0 lead by allowing two runs in the top of the fourth when Lindor led off the bottom of the inning in a sudden rainstorm. He fell in a quick 0-2 hole before laying off four straight pitches all over the zone \u2014 one high, one outside, one low and one inside.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Francisco-Lindor-2-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Francisco Lindor dives safely into third base for a two-run triple in the fifth inning of the Mets' 8-2 win over the Phillies.\" class=\"wp-image-22455012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Francisco-Lindor-2-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Francisco-Lindor-2-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Francisco-Lindor-2-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Francisco-Lindor-2-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Francisco Lindor dives safely into third base for a two-run triple in the fifth inning of the Mets\u2019 8-2 win over the Phillies.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Corey Sipkin<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThey are good hitters who get here, so they want to swing the bat and take advantage of the skill they have,\u201d manager Buck Showalter said. \u201cThe pitchers know that sometimes, and it\u2019s a constant battle to be selective.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>As the baseball adage says, a leadoff walk always scores: Pete Alonso followed with a single and Jeff McNeil clubbed a three-run homer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think [Lindor] is seeing the ball extremely well, and that\u2019s huge for this team,\u201d McNeil said. \u201cLeadoff walks, they can hurt you. Great at-bat by him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was just the start of a big night for Lindor, who cut short a potential Phillies rally with nifty footwork around second base in the fifth. He scooped up a chopper that had bounced over the head of leaping pitcher Taijuan Walker, tagged the bag in rhythm and fired to first for the double play.<\/p>\n<p>Lindor Hour continued when he smacked a 1-0 sinker to the base of the left-center field wall between two hesitantly converging outfielders in the bottom of the frame. He took advantage of Kyle Schwarber\u2019s lackadaisical throw into the infield by turning on the jets for a head-first slide into third. Just like that, the Mets held a 6-2 lead and Lindor had a new career-long streak of six straight games with an RBI.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a great analytical stat we keep \u2014 damage in the zone,\u201d Showalter said. \u201cIt\u2019s really revealing that he\u2019s been swinging at a lot of pitches in the white part of the plate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the last 15 games, Lindor has 19 RBIs \u2014 overtaking the Dodgers\u2019 Trea Turner for most among MLB shortstops this season (37) \u2014 and 18 runs scored. He capped his night with a line-drive RBI single, reaching base for a team-high 75th time on the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhatever it takes to help the team win,\u201d Lindor said. \u201cI\u2019m contributing at the right time.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
