One view: since it is closer 2 the sun,it will take for the shorter time for for the heat 2 reach it and Mercury can spin faster in some way. Another view: Simply put, if Mercury's orbit were slower, it would fall into the Sun. If it's orbital period were to increase ( the only 'likely' scenario might possibly be that a large (think planetary) body on an errant course were to affect it's relatively stable orbit through 'tidal' (gravitational) interaction) it would tend to move farther from the Sun. Mercury's orbit is what it is because the Sun is pulling it in towards itself, and it's (Mercury's) inertial velocity thru spacetime offsets the Sun's pull. The current effective balance between the two determines Mercury's orbital position relative to the Sun.
