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.

After an extended slump, Francisco Lindor, according to Mets manager Carlos Mendoza is back to using "the whole field" and proof was his three-hit game in New York's 8-1 win over the Giants. Lindor and Brandon Nimmo got the team off to quick 2-0 lead in the first inning and they never looked back.
