Francisco Lindor Leads Resurgent Mets to 3-2 Victory over MLB-Leading Brewers in 10 Innings
Francisco Lindor homered and made a bases-loaded diving catch before scoring the winning run, as the Mets improved to 60-72.
On Tuesday, the New York Mets defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 3-2 at Citi Field in front of 28,942 fans, with Francisco Lindor scoring the winning run on a 10th-inning throwing error by David Hamiltion.
Rookie Zac Thornton scattered seven hits across six innings while reliever Nate Lavender extended his scoreless streak to 9.2 innings, allowing the Mets to maintain a narrow 2-1 advantage entering the ninth.
Lindor tied Dave Kingman for sixth on the franchise list with his 154th home run, while Luis Robert Jr. added a solo shot in the sixth inning, his fourth home run in his last six games.
Austin Warren failed to secure his second career save after allowing a game-tying RBI double to Christian Yelich in the ninth, though Jefry Yan and Jonathan Pintaro stranded runners to keep the game tied.
This victory against the team with Major League Baseball's best record improved the Mets to 60-72, continuing a strong 13-6 run since the trade deadline.
