Mets’ Francisco Lindor must catch fire before brutal stretch

The 2022 version of Francisco Lindor seemed to be the one the Mets were hoping they initially acquired.

The veteran shortstop was hot, peaking at a .313 average with four home runs and a dozen RBIs as the Mets started off 12-5.

But it’s a long season, Slumps occur. And from early to mid-May, Lindor looked like his disappointing 2021 self again. By May 13, his average dipped to a measly .228.

But over the last few days as the Mets have kept winning games and series to stay atop the National League East, the infielder has slowly emerged from a funk.
