Inside Mets' decision to let Luis Severino finish complete game shutout Mets starter Luis Severino dominated Marlins on Saturday
AUGUST 18 • NJ.COM
Francisco Lindor - Slugs 24th homer Lindor went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Marlins.
Impact He led off the game by driving a fastball from Max Meyer over the wall in right-center field, giving Luis Severino all the run support he would need as the right-hander pitched a shutout. Lindor extended his hitting streak to 11 games in the process, and he's reached base safely in every contest so far in August, slashing .338/.386/.508 with two homers, two steals, eight RBI and 12 runs in 15 games. The shortstop needs just one more home run and one more stolen base to record his third career 25-25 campaign.

Luis Severino - Fires second career shutout Severino (8-6) picked up the win Saturday, scattering four hits and a walk over nine scoreless innings in a 4-0 victory over the Marlins. He struck out eight.
Impact Three of the four hits off Severino were doubles, but he bore down and stranded the runner each time. The right-hander needed a season-high 113 pitches (78 strikes) to record his second career shutout, with the other coming back in 2018. It was an impressive turnaround for Severino, who had gone 0-3 with an 8.00 ERA and 1.83 WHIP over his prior four starts. The 30-year-old is scheduled to make his next trip to the mound on the road next week in San Diego.

Brandon Nimmo - Cracks homer in return Nimmo went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer and an additional run scored in Friday's 7-3 win against Miami.
Impact After missing Thursday's game to due illness, the 31-year-old outfielder tattooed a 390-foot, three-run homer off reliever George Soriano for his first long ball of the second half. Perhaps this performance can spur on Nimmo, who entered this game with a .140 (12-for-86) batting average in 23 games since the All-Star break. Overall, the nine-year vet is now slashing .228/.343/.405 with 17 homers, 68 runs scored and 70 RBI across 508 plate appearances this season.
