Mets’ Francisco Lindor shares eye-opening admission after brutal series sweep vs Phillies

The New York Mets just finished a quick two-game set against the Philadelphia Phillies, and they didn’t look good in the brief sweep.

Mets star Francisco Lindor spoke about the team’s struggles after their 4-0 loss on Tuesday.

“It’s part of the daily grind,” Lindor said. “It seems like we are in a month that the uphill fight is even harder.”

The Mets finished a 1-4 homestand against the National League East rival Atlanta Braves and Phillies. New York fell to 10-14 at Citi Field after getting shut out for the fourth time overall.

Lindor went hitless in the two-game set, going 0-8 against the Phillies. It’s been a tough season at the plate for the Mets shortstop, who does have seven home runs, but is hitting just .209 through 40 games this season.

Despite his challenges at the plate, Lindor clearly has a good approach. Earlier this season, he was asked how he stays positive through his early season struggles.

“Man, rely on my teammates. Rely on my wife. Rely on my daughters,” Lindor said, per the New York Post.  “The world is a beautiful place. It can get nasty at times. But it’s a beautiful place.”

“Understanding, it’s an uphill fight, you’ve got to stay the course no matter what,” Lindor added. “I’ve got to continue to compete day in and day out, and be myself. At the end of the day, I’m not going to be somebody else. I’ve got to be me.”
