Mets End 12-Game Losing Streak, Beat Twins 3-2 as Francisco Lindor Exits With Calf Injury
The New York Mets ended their 12-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday. But the victory came with a cost as star shortstop Francisco Lindor left the game with left calf tightness in the fourth inning.
The New York Mets finally got some good news Wednesday, beating the Minnesota Twins 3-2 to snap a brutal 12-game losing streak. But the celebration was muted after losing star shortstop Francisco Lindor to injury.
Lindor was pulled from the game in the fourth inning with left calf tightness. He had just scored from first base on Francisco Alvarez's go-ahead double but was seen laboring around the bases. The team will likely get him an MRI to check the severity.
The timing was bittersweet for the Mets. Juan Soto returned from his own calf injury, going 1-for-3 with a single and a walk. His return gave fans hope, but Lindor's exit dampened the mood.
The 12-game losing streak was one of the worst in recent Mets history. The team had been struggling both offensively and defensively during the skid. This win gives them something to build on as they try to salvage their season.
The Mets desperately needed this win to stop their worst skid in recent memory. But losing Lindor, one of their best players, could hurt their playoff chances if the injury is serious.
Lindor will likely get an MRI to determine if he needs time on the injured list. The Mets continue their series with the Twins.
