Francisco Lindor slugs tiebreaking 2-run homer, Mets knock off the Dodgers for 5th straight win

Francisco Lindor hit a tiebreaking two-run home run in the seventh inning and the New York Mets won their fifth straight game, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-4 on Friday night. Lindor sent his second homer of the season 396 feet into right field off Daniel Hudson (1-1) to give the Mets a 6-4 lead in the seventh after the Dodgers erased an early four-run deficit. "It was pretty big for him to come through in that situation after we lost the lead," manager Carlos Mendoza said.
