Francisco Lindor reaches 1,500-hit milestone in Mets’ win

Francisco Lindor, the Mets’ tone-setter at the top of the lineup, has had an extra jolt-providing variable in his favor lately — and, no, it’s not the Citi Field crowd sometimes singing along to his “My Girl” walkup song.

For four games in a row, including the Mets’ 2-0 win over the Marlins on Monday, he has led off the bottom of the first inning with a hit.

This time, Lindor went 3-for-4 on the night, scoring a run following a bunt single in the third and picking up the 1,500th hit of his career with a single in the fifth.

The Mets (7-3) have won five consecutive games.

Righthander Kodai Senga scattered five hits and two walks in five innings. He also induced two double-play ground balls that helped keep his pitch count down. Manager Carlos Mendoza pulled him after 77 pitches, his third outing in a row — including his final preseason tune-up — that he threw about that many.

Jose Siri helped manufacture a key tack-on run in the eighth. After Mendoza inserted him as a pinch runner for Mark Vientos, Siri stole second and scored on Tyrone Taylor’s single to center.

With closer Edwin Diaz unavailable, having pitched the prior two days, Ryne Stanek handled the ninth inning. He became the third Mets reliever to record a save in the first 10 games of the season, joining Diaz and Huascar Brazoban.

Notes & quotes: Marlins-Mets on Tuesday will be at 4:10 p.m., the Mets announced, moved up from the originally scheduled 7:10 p.m. because of bad weather. Temperatures are supposed to dip into the 30s . . . Reliever Dedniel Nunez is eligible to return to the major leagues this week, but the Mets have not decided when they will call him up, David Stearns said . . . Since bad weather has prevented the Mets from doing on-field pregame activity in recent days, they might send Jeff McNeil (right oblique strain) and Franisco Alvarez (hand surgery) back to Florida, Mendoza said. Both players need to take batting practice and do other baseball activities on the field to continue their rehab.
