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.

New York Mets slugger Francisco Lindor had jokes about his team's insane winning streak when he hits a home run.

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.
