Open Extended ReactionsNEW YORK -- On the same day he got elected to start an All-Star Game for the first time, Francisco Lindor was dropped from the leadoff spot with the New York Mets in a major tailspin.
"Whatever it takes to win," Lindor said.
The change led to Lindor breaking out of a prolonged slump and the Mets taking off following a miserable start.
After a long run batting leadoff, Lindor said it didn't feel weird to hit elsewhere.
The previous Mets shortstop to win a starting All-Star assignment was José Reyes in 2011.
