Steals base in win Lindor went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-1 victory over the Orioles.
Impact The shortstop now has at least one hit in each of his last six games, hitting 8-for-20 overall in that span with four RBI. The stolen base was just Lindor's second of the season, but he'll enjoy more frequent opportunities to swipe bags now that he's snapped out of his extended slump. The switch-hitter's average, now .202, remains underwhelming, however it has risen steadily in the past week and Lindor is beginning to look more like the player the Mets traded for and signed to a long-term deal.

Francisco Lindor takes Mets on a wild ride, but winning cures all in New York
Francisco Lindor's wild tale of stadium creatures turned a small disagreement in the Big Apple into a big story.MAY 9, 2021
Drives in one, swipes bag Lindor went 2-for-3 with a double, one RBI, one run, a walk and a stolen base in the Mets' 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.
Impact Lindor may finally be catching a bit of a hot streak. The perennial All-Star reached base safely nine times in his last three games. He has a home run, three RBI, three runs and a stolen base in that stretch. Despite the recent burst, the 27-year-old is slashing a brutal .190/.317/.270 in 121 plate appearances with his new team.

Mashes second homer Lindor went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.
Impact The shortstop finally seems to be getting comfortable in his new uniform. Lindor's seventh-inning blast off Caleb Smith tied the game at 4-4 and was his first homer this season at Citi Field, and his second of the year. While he only sports a .549 OPS through 27 games, his 16:15 BB:K indicates his All-Star skill set is still intact, and the 27-year-old still has plenty of time to catch fire and put up his usual numbers.

On base four times Thursday Lindor went 1-for-3 with three walks and a run scored in Thursday's win over the Cardinals.
Impact The shortstop had gone 0-for-23 over his prior six games, but Lindor snapped his slump while adding value with his batting eye. He hasn't lived up to his huge contract extension yet, slashing .163/.297/.207 with one homer and zero steals in 26 games, but Thursday's performance could be a sign he's coming around.
