Francisco Lindor, the team's shining star, showcased an MVP-like performance that made fans forget about the days when they were pondering their existence in the MLB basement.

The Mets needed a hero, and Peterson stepped up to the plate with a performance that screamed, “I’m not just here to make up the numbers!”
