Lindor’s 9th-Inning Homer Crushes Blue Jays’ No-Hitter Dreams ⚾😱

Talk about a plot twist! 🌟 New York Mets’ star Francisco Lindor shattered the Toronto Blue Jays’ no-hit bid in dramatic fashion with a ninth-inning homer at Rogers Center, sparking a Mets comeback that ended in a 6-2 victory. The clutch hit off pitcher Bowden Francis’ 111th pitch tied the game and sent shockwaves through the stadium—and the Mets’ dugout. 💥

\"I could feel the energy shift,\" Lindor said post-game, grinning like he’d just dropped the mic at a concert 🎤. His blast paved the way for teammate Francisco Alvarez’s *triple shot* (yes, you read that right) as the Mets piled on five runs in the inning. Jays fans? Let’s just say their vibes took a nosedive 📉.

For Francis, it was déjà vu: his second no-hit bid destroyed by a leadoff ninth-inning homer this season. The last time? August 24 against the Angels’ Taylor Ward. Now, he’s etched into MLB history as the first pitcher since Nolan Ryan in 1989 to lose *two* no-hitters in the ninth. Oof. 😬

\"It sucks,\" Jays manager John Schneider admitted. Meanwhile, the Mets (80-66) are now one game ahead of the Atalanta Braves in the National League wild-card race. Playoff pressure? More like playoff swagger. 🔥
