The Mets got back in the win column with a 5-3 victory in Miami, largely on the back of Francisco Lindor.
Lindor was excellent from the get-go, taking the way-too-early Cy Young front runner Sandy Alcántara deep to dead center in the first inning. Mark Canha added a home run of his own in the fifth inning, but the Mets’ offensive explosion came in a truly weird sixth inning.
Tomás Nido started the rally off with a single, and Brandon Nimmo followed suit with a single of his own — a bunt against the shift that was fumbled by Luke Williams.
