Mets

Both Mets manager Carlos Mendoza and starter David Peterson used the word "special" when describing Francisco Lindor both on and off the field. Mendoza said "you can feel his presence every day," and Peterson called him the "best shortstop in baseball," after his walk-off home run in the ninth inning. Asked where he was when Lindor connected, Peterson rather sheepishly said, "the bathroom" when he heard the roar of the big crowd.

Judge chose to credit his teammates for taking quality at-bats and making big pitches in avoiding a sweep.
