New York Mets, Francisco Lindor

The New York Mets are struggling, and manager Carlos Mendoza can't put his finger on what exactly has gone wrong in recent years.
But that lead did not last long for the Mariners, with the Mets tying the score at 1-1 after New York star shortstop Francisco Lindor launched a solo homer in the bottom of the first inning. Lindor got ahead of Mariners starter Luis Castillo right away with three straight balls before getting a strike and fouling a pitch for a 3-2 count.
Saturday's game was a low point, as the Mets lost 7-4 to the Milwaukee Brewers after a four-run seventh inning that was aided by some slipshod defense. And earlier in the game, Milwaukee scored two runs on an error by shortstop Francisco Lindor.
New York Mets star shortstop Francisco Lindor talked to Fox News Digital about team great David Wright getting his number retired, and potential captaincy.
There are many culprits. A starry, highly paid lineup main four of Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto, Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo has lacked enough clutch impact. A refortified bullpen has been central to blowing leads in each of the seven games going into Saturday.
