After enduring a career-worst 0-for-31 hitless streak, Mets’ Francisco Lindor finds his rhythm again with strong support from manager Carlos Mendoza, fueling hopes for a successful MLB season.

Francisco Lindor drove in two runs and Pete Alonso homered to power the Mets to a sweep of the Angels on Wednesday at Citi Field.

Brandon Nimmo and Juan Soto drove in two runs apiece, Francisco Lindor homered among three hits and scored three times, and the New York Mets opened a three-game road series against the San Francisco Giants with an 8-1 win Friday night.

Logan Webb took the mound at Oracle Park on a frigid Friday night with an opportunity to spell the relievers, to keep them rested for the looming tasks at hand. Specifically, the bullpen’s multi-inning relievers. He has proven himself capable, more often than not, of pitching deep into ballgames.

Francisco Lindor was far from the only thing wrong with the Mets offense Friday night.
