Description: Francisco Lindor is scorching—nine-game hit streak, .500 AVG, 1.400+ OPS—and when he’s hot, the Mets are hot. But after a maddening set in D.C. (late swings, one-run pain, bullpen stress), it’s straight into Atlanta for a season-defining weekend. We hit Alvarez’s injury, Peterson’s gem, Kodai Senga’s uneven start, Baty/Vientos/Marte bright spots, the injury pile, bullpen asks, and why that Reds series (Sept 5–7) looms huge. Plus: Nolan McLean buzz, live show details, and our fantasy league idea. Let’s reset and believe.
