Francisco Lindor - Slugs 22nd homer Lindor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's loss to the Royals.
Impact He spoiled a combined shutout bid for the Kansas City staff by taking Jonathan Heasley deep in the ninth inning. It's Lindor's third homer in the last five games, and over his last 11 contests he's batting .310 (13-for-42). The 29-year-old's hot streak comes too late to save the Mets' season, but maybe not his own -- Lindor's slashing .235/.323/.464 through 465 plate appearances with 22 homers, 17 steals, 67 runs and 67 RBI.

Carlos Carrasco - Lit up again Carrasco (3-6) took the loss Thursday, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk over six innings against the Royals.
Impact Carrasco allowed one run in the first inning but really began to struggle with his command in the third when he gave up a leadoff single, threw a wild pitch and then surrendered a homer to Bobby Witt. He would give up another three runs in the seventh after allowing back-to-back singles to open the frame, followed by a three-run shot from Drew Waters. The 36-year-old right-hander has now allowed six runs in back-to-back starts and at least four runs in four straight. He also failed to record a strikeout Thursday for the first time this season.
