Mets Snap Streak, Lindor's Calf a Concern

0:00On April 23rd, the Mets finally snapped their losing streak with a gritty 3-2 win over the twins. Francisco Lindor sparked the offense early, driving in the first run and scoring the second before exiting after four innings with left calf. Tightness. That happened the same night Juan Soto returned from his own calf injury stint on the injured list. Lindor opened scoring on a two-out infield single in the first, then hustled home on Francisco Alvarez's double in the fourth, looking uncomfortable. The whole way. The twins tied it twice, once on a sack fly, and again on Byron Bucston's solo homer, Off Clay Holmes. Holmes bounced back strong, though, tossing seven innings with three strikeouts, just one walk in five hits total. Mets fans held their breath through base running gaps, like Mark Vientel's ignoring the stop sign at third, and Soto getting picked off first in the eighth. Vientel's made up for a big time, ripping a bloop single in the bottom of the eighth to plate Brett Beatty for the go ahead run. Brooks Rayleigh and Luke Weaver locked down the top of the eighth scoreless. Weaver stayed on for the ninth, striking out the side around a two-out single to slam the door.
