In a nail-biting game at Rogers Center, Francisco Lindor of the New York Mets hit a crucial home run during the ninth inning against the Toronto Blue Jays' pitcher Bowden Francis, ending the no-hit bid. 🎉⚾
The homer initially tied the score at 1-1, but the Mets didn't stop there, racking up five more runs, including a spectacular triple from Francisco Alvarez. Although the Blue Jays managed a run later, it wasn't enough to turn the tide. 🔥🔥
\"It felt really good,\" Lindor shared after the 6-2 victory. \"Everything was going his way until the last pitch he threw.\"
Francis, who threw 111 pitches this season, saw his no-hit bid broken twice this year, a feat last seen in 1989 by Nolan Ryan. The Jays' manager expressed sympathy for Francis's tough spotting of coincidences. 😔
With this win, the Mets have secured their 80th victory of the season and are now leading the Atlanta Braves by one game in the race for the final National League wild-card playoff spot. Go Mets! 🐻🏟️
