Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor broke the franchise record for RBIs by a shortstop during Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field.

Lindor broke the record in the first inning off of Zack Wheeler. After a leadoff double from Brandon Nimmo, Lindor blooped a one-out single into right field to score him and set the new record. 

Sunday's knock was Lindor's 82nd of the season and broke Jose Reyes' franchise record for single-season RBI by a shortstop (minimum 60 percent of games at SS). 

Reyes' record was set in 2006.

"To be next to Reyes, someone I grew up watching, it’s great, but I’m here to try to win a World Series," Lindor said last week after tying the record. "That’s all I have in mind. Along the way, things like this are gonna happen, and I thank the good lord for it."

Lindor entered play on Sunday hitting .268/.346/.459 with 20 homers and 17 doubles.

He is on pace to finish the season with roughly 30 home runs and 115 RBI.
