Francisco Lindor - Blasts 32nd dinger Lindor went 2-for-4 Sunday with a home run, a walk, two RBI and two runs scored against the Brewers.

Impact Lindor reached base three times with his solo shot in the sixth representing the fifth and final run the Mets would score. Lindor has been hot during the closing stretch of the season with Sunday marking the 11th time in 26 games Lindor has contributed multiple hits. During that stretch, Lindor is batting 33-for-103 (.320) with eight home runs, nine doubles, 16 RBI, 22 runs and two stolen bases

David Peterson - Tosses gem to earn 10th win Peterson (10-3) earned the win Sunday, allowing one hit and three walks over seven scoreless innings against the Brewers. He struck out eight.

Impact Peterson saved his best performance for when the Mets needed it most, allowing zero runs for just the second time this year while allowing a measly first-inning infield single to Jackson Chourio. The eight strikeouts matched his second highest total of the season while the scoreless effort dropped his season ERA to an impressive 2.90 over 21 starts spanning 121 innings. The Mets still have work to do to make it into the postseason, but should they advance following Monday's double-header with Atlanta, Peterson would be required to work on short rest if he were to make an appearance in the Wild Card round.
