After an extended slump, Francisco Lindor, according to Mets manager Carlos Mendoza is back to using "the whole field" and proof was his three-hit game in New York's 8-1 win over the Giants. Lindor and Brandon Nimmo got the team off to quick 2-0 lead in the first inning and they never looked back.

Francisco Lindor homered in the third, Brandon Nimmo added a two-run single in the fourth and Juan Soto drove in two runs as New York backed Clay Holmes, and the Mets beat the San Francisco Giants 8-1 on Friday night for their fifth straight win.
