In a display of humility and complete teamwork, Francisco Lindor chose to downplay his own performance in the New York Mets' game, instead highlighting the contributions of his teammates to the team's success.

Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor homered twice, and finished with four RBIs, lifting first-place New York past its National League East rival, the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-4, in the opener of a marquee three-game series on Monday night at Citi Field.

With two runners on and the Mets winning 2-0 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Lindor hit Ruiz’s second pitch, a heater right down the middle, 412 feet to dead center for a three-run home run. It was his second home run of the game, his 20th career multi-home run game, and his fifth home run of the season.
