Francisco Lindor says fielding error is to blame for latest Mets loss: 'It's unacceptable'

Tuesday night's matchup between the Mets and the Twins was tightly contested. Both offenses were unable to push across runs, one mistake could tip the scales in the other team's favor, and that's what happened in the third inning.

After Tylor Megill allowed two baserunners to reach with one out, the big right-hander got DaShawn Keirsey Jr. to pop out on a bunt attempt and was a batter away from getting out of the inning unscathed. Ty France hit a soft grounder to Francisco Lindor, but the sure-handed infielder botted the ball and allowed a run to score on the error.
