CHICAGO —Francisco Lindor<\/a> reached the 30-30 mark for the second time in his career when he homered for the New York Mets<\/a> against the Chicago Cubs<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Mets were leading 2-0 in the third when Lindor connected against Shota Imanaga<\/a>, sending a solo drive beyond the left-field bleachers to Waveland Avenue. That gave him 30 homers to go with 31 steals. The five-time All-Star had 31 homers and 31 steals for New York in 2023.<\/p>\n

With Lindor and Juan Soto<\/a> (43 homers, 36 steals entering the game), the Mets have two 30-30 players in a season for the second time. Howard Johnson (36 homers, 32 steals) and Darryl Strawberry (39 homers, 36 steals) did it in 1987.<\/p>\n

New York also has three players with at least 30 homers for the first time – Lindor, Soto and Pete Alonso<\/a> (37).<\/p>\n
