Lindor repeats the blow, and the Mets show resilience for their 13th comeback of the season

By the time Francisco Lindor hit a goodbye Goofy sacrifice hit in nine innings, the carnival script for Citi Field had already been written. The Mets shortstop had just finished making eye contact with teammates Brandon Nimmo and Brett Baty when he grabbed SNY sideline reporter Steve Gelbs, who was trying to flee the scene. As the ice water poured down, Lindoel, who was dexterous and dodged, left behind a soaked "scapegoat" and smiled proudly: "Someone has to die, but fortunately it's not me." "

Francisco Lindor contributed a key finisher for the third time this season and the Mets' fifth comeback win in just 26 home games. Since the start of the 2023 season, the New Yorkers have amassed 16 bye kills, which is the second-most in major league history. It was also the team's 13th comeback win of the season, the third comeback in the last three games, and continued the strong run of the last four one-point battles. "He's just made for the moments," praised coach Carlos Mendoza, "and to control the tempo from the first kick is what a superstar does." "

Without a run at the bottom of nine innings, Lindor turned a 329-foot right field fly ball into a game-ending blow against White Sox backup pitcher Steven Wilson for his opening shot. "It's all about being aggressive," admits the team spirit, who has made 13 comebacks this season, "and it's the happiest thing to win in different ways." "

This victory is the result of team wisdom:

• Francisco Alvarez broke through the low tide of the moon in eight innings and hit a crucial chase to make a safe shot
• Luisangel Acuña showed his speed advantage, taking advantage of Nemoan hitting and Juan Soto to sacrifice a fly ball to run two bases in a row
• Tyrone Taylor's nine-inning second base hit ignited the offense, surging to 0.096 batting average over the past six weeks
• The bullshed 3.1 game was scored as a counteroffensive foundation

Despite facing the White Sox, who had the most defeats in MLB's modern history last year, the Mets' RB average was still as low as 0.198 in May. However, the team has shown the characteristics of "key battle experts", winning the last four games by one point. "Consistent fighting spirit leads us to believe that any adversity can turn the tables around," finisher Clay Holmes said of the locker room belief.

As Lindor smiled and gave credit to his teammates, the New York summer night was being lit up by another miracle. As he says, "The most wonderful moment is when everything seems to be stagnant but quietly run." "
