Nimmo’s grand slam in the second inning was the third of his career and second this season. Lindor followed Nimmo’s grand slam with a solo homer in the second inning. Lindor added an RBI single in the sixth and an RBI double in the eighth on a day in which he was named as the starting shortstop for the National League in the All-Star Game. The Mets had lost four in a row and 14 of 17 games following their 7-2 setback in the opener of the doubleheader.
