Mets End Skid with Narrow Win, But Lindor Injury Casts Shadow Over Victory
Finally, the Mets have broken free from their suffocating losing skid in 2026—a welcome relief, no doubt, but it comes with a bittersweet aftertaste. Wednesday’s 3-2 victory over the Twins snapped an agonizing 12-game drought, marking the fourth-longest losing stretch in team history. Yet, amid the celebration, a shadow looms: star shortstop Francisco Lindor left the game hobbling with a calf injury, stealing away some of the night’s joy.
The timing couldn’t be more cruel. On the very day the Mets rejoiced Juan Soto’s return from the injured list—his hefty $765 million price tag impossible to ignore—Lindor suffered a similar calf issue in the fourth inning. The scans coming Thursday will reveal just how bad it is, but all signs suggest the captain will be sidelined for several weeks. Manager Carlos Mendoza’s candid postgame remarks summed up the turmoil: “It’s what we’re dealing with right now… We lost Soto, and now might lose another key player. We’ve got to figure it out and find a way.”
