Mets’ Francisco Lindor Makes Postgame Statement After Snapping 0-for-31 Drought originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The New York Mets went all out for their former captain in David Wright and retired his No. 5 at Citi Field during a ceremony on July 19. That's not all the team pulled off. Shortstop Francisco Lindor was named only the fifth captain in Mets history as well and he is the first captain of the team since Wright last held that honor in 2018.

In Tuesday’s 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels, Lindor went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, extending his hitless streak to 30 at-bats. It’s the longest such streak of his career, and just seven at-bats shy of the franchise record set by shortstop Rey Ordóñez in 1997.
