Lindor Scores Winning Run In 9th, Mets Beat D-Backs
PHOENIX (AP) — The New York Mets have been waiting for Francisco Lindor to be himself on the baseball field. They’re hoping the wait may be over.
Lindor, signed to a $341 million, 10-year deal on April 1, had three hits and scored the winning run in the ninth inning in the Mets’ 7-6 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday. It was just his second three-hit game of the season and lifted his batting average to .209, his highest mark since April 27.
