Mets End Skid with Narrow Win, But Lindor Injury Casts Shadow Over Victory

Byron Buxton launched a massive solo home run in the sixth inning, his fifth of the season, to tie the game. Then the Mets sent batters up to bat in their half of the sixth. They put together two walks and a double, but they didn’t score because Mark Vientos ran through a clear stop sign on Marcus Semien’s double and was easily thrown out at the plate.

“He just went through the stop sign,” said Mendoza after the game. For his part, Vientos didn’t offer a different take.

“I was just following my instincts,” he explained after the game. “Once I saw the ball that was hit off the wall, I was like, I’m gonna go score on that. [Tim Leiper] gave me the stop sign, but I followed my instincts, and I went home.” When asked to clarify, he repeated, “I saw the stop sign, but, like I said, I was following my instincts.”
