In a dramatic Game 4 of the National League Division Series, Francisco Lindor delivered a crucial grand slam for the New York Mets against the Philadelphia Phillies, securing a 4-1 victory and advancing the Mets to their first NLCS since 2015. The Mets had previously squandered multiple bases-loaded opportunities, but Lindor's sixth-inning blast off Phillies closer Carlos Estévez turned the tide. New York's pitching staff, including Jose Quintana and David Peterson, played a pivotal role, with Edwin Díaz closing the game despite a tense ninth inning. The Phillies, who had started the season strong, were eliminated, leading to potential organizational reflections after another postseason regression. Lindor's performance has sparked MVP discussions, and the Mets' postseason journey continues against either the Padres or Dodgers.
