What happened: Francisco Lindor put New York ahead 1-0 over Baltimore, and the game remained in progress at the latest update. Earlier in the day, the Mets centered Lindor in club coverage tied to a looming career home run milestone.

Why it matters: That kept Lindor at the middle of both the game's first scoring swing and the broader Mets conversation. It also fit a recent pattern for Lindor in Mets coverage, where his power has driven the headline more than once.

What to watch: Watch whether New York can add to the 1-0 margin while the game is still live. Lindor's next trips will carry added attention with that career home run milestone in view.
