Mets End Skid with Narrow Win, But Lindor Injury Casts Shadow Over Victory
So with the bases loaded and another potential loss looming, the fans at Citi Field tried to will the team on with a “Let’s Go Mets” chant. It was feeble at first, but when Weaver got two strikes on Luke Keaschall, the crowd all rose to their feet. They needed this. Weaver delivered, inducing an inning-ending foul pop-up to Alvarez by the first base dugout.
In the bottom of the inning, Soto laced an RBI single in the 8th but was caught stealing a few pitches later. He finished 1-for-3 with a walk on the day, but it seemed like the chance at a rally had ended with him getting picked up. Yet, back-to-back walks to Baty and Francisco Alvarez brought Vientos up with two outs and the game tied. He got jammed but was able to bloop a single into right field to bring Baty around to score. It was Vientos’ only hit of the night, but it was a big one, as he finished 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI and has now hit safelt in four of his last five games.
