New York Mets Star Francisco Lindor Achieves Impressive Statistical Feat in Monday's Win

The New York Mets beat the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night 7-2 as Francisco Lindor delivered another strong offensive performance.

The star shortstop went 2-for-3 on the night with two runs scored and a stolen base which gave him a personal milestone for the year.

The following update comes from the Rotowire fantasy baseball portal:

Lindor went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Monday's 7-2 win over the Pirates.

ANALYSIS
With his steal Monday, Lindor reached the 20-20 threshold for the third time in his career. The 29-year-old shortstop has heated up of late, going 20-for-55 (.364) with a 1.053 OPS over his last 15 games. Overall, Lindor is slashing .245/.333/.465 with 22 homers, 70 RBI and 74 runs scored across 502 plate appearances this season while going 20-for-22 on stolen base attempts.

To hit the 20-20 mark for the third time signifies how good Lindor has been over his career. In his ninth year in the big leagues with the Guardians and Mets, he's a career .274 hitter with 206 home runs and 651 RBI.

He was a first-round pick of the Guardians back in the 2011 draft.

After the win, the Mets are 54-65. They are winners of two straight and remain ahead of the Washington Nationals for fourth place in the National League East.

The loss dropped the Pirates into a tie for last in the National League Central.

The two teams will play again on Tuesday at 7:10 p.m. ET as Bailey Falter (PIT) pitches against David Peterson (NYM).
