Francisco Lindor snapped an eight-game homerless-streak, going 3-for-5 with his 20th of the season and an RBI double, and Brandon Nimmo went 2-for-5 with a double to lead off the game and two RBI

Francisco Lindor homered in the third, Brandon Nimmo added a two-run single in the fourth and Juan Soto drove in two runs as New York backed Clay Holmes, and the Mets beat the San Francisco Giants 8-1 on Friday night for their fifth straight win.

In Tuesday’s 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels, Lindor went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, extending his hitless streak to 30 at-bats. It’s the longest such streak of his career, and just seven at-bats shy of the franchise record set by shortstop Rey Ordóñez in 1997.
