Francisco Lindor Makes Honest Statement After Mets’ Loss to Braves originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The Mets have now lost eight of nine and fallen a game behind the Phillies, who regained sole possession of first place in the NL East with the victory. For New York, the silver lining is that Lindor seems to be heating up again at the plate. But the aura of invincibility when he goes yard? That’s officially gone.

Lindor drilled a third-inning home run that began 1) a comeback from two runs down and 2) a series of three consecutive batters who homered for the Mets, and many more dingers were to come in an 11-4, skid-busting victory over the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
