Francisco Lindor

Sale looked extremely impressive during Thursday's series opener against the Mets after a pair of rainouts enabled him to pick up a few extra days of rest. He gave up only a pair of hits as a third-inning homer by Francisco Lindor represented the lone tally against him in this one. He struck out five of the final six batters he faced, including fanning the side in the seventh inning, to finish just shy of his fourth double-digit strikeout performance of his Atlanta debut. The oft-injured 35-year-old veteran southpaw has been a revelation this season for the Braves and will carry a stellar 2.68 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 149/25 K/BB ratio across 117 1/3 innings (19 starts) into a road tilt on Tuesday against the Brewers.

Lindor crushed a no-doubter to left-center field off Braves ace Chris Sale to put the Mets ahead in the third inning. It was his fifth round-tripper over his last four games. He leads the senior circuit with a staggering 34 extra-base hits since being moved to the leadoff spot back on May 18. The 30-year-old fantasy superstar is batting a sizzling .309 (38-for-123) with 10 homers, 25 RBI and nine steals over his last 30 games.
