Francisco Lindor gives Mets fans shoutout after ending career-worst slump

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor ended a career-worst 0-for-31 slump when he drove home a pair of runs in New York's 6-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday that secured a series sweep.

Lindor later touched upon the loud ovations he heard from home fans during his lengthy skid. 

"I feel the love," Lindor said, SNY's Tom Hanslin shared. "It's definitely special. It makes you want to continue to go even harder, day in and day out. This city, this market makes you bring the best of yourself every day. And you can't take that for granted... Sorry I didn't put on a good show for them earlier."

Lindor is no stranger to hearing boos from frustrated fans at Citi Field, but since the All-Star break, paying customers have let him know that such days are now behind him. Many Mets supporters are hoping it's a matter of when, not if, Lindor will be named the club's first team captain since David Wright retired after the 2018 season.

"Stay the course, hopefully good things happen... I'm human," Lindor said about contributing to Wednesday's win. "I don't want to go through [a slump], but I know I'm going to go through it. It sucks. Put your head down and work. Try to get better... When you're good, you're good. When you suck, you suck. It is what it is."

Lindor delivered his first RBI single of the afternoon in the bottom of the third inning to give the Mets a 2-1 lead. He then earned additional cheers in the bottom of the fourth:
