Lindor's Mental Errors Cost Mets in Loss

0:00On April 2nd, Mitz shortstop Francisco Lendor had a rough game against the Cardinals on Wednesday, dropping two key mental errors in a tight, two to one loss that went 11 innings. The veteran, usually rock solid, forgot the outcount in the first inning on a grounder that could have ended it quick, forcing starter Freddie Peralta to throw extra pitches. Later in the sixth, with the score still zeroed, Lendor reached on an error but got picked off first base right before Juan Soto crushed a homer for, the Mitz only run. That lead didn't hold as the cards tied it up in one late. Lendor owned it straight up after the game, calling the first mistake inexcusable since it might have let Peralta go deeper than its 5.1. Innings on 92 pitches. Manager Carlos Mendoza agreed on the grounder but saw the pickoff as aggressive base running gone wrong. The loss shines a light on the Mitz offense, which is scored just 12 runs over their last five games after an 11 run opener, going 0-4.

1:0111 with runners and scoring position Wednesday. Now sitting at three wins and three losses with 156 games left. Lendor stays positive, praising the pitchers and urging the team to keep passing the baton and trusting each other as they head to San Francisco for a four game set with the Giants starting Thursday.
