The New York Mets picked up an electrifying 3-2 win on Tuesday evening to take the series opener about the Milwaukee Brewers.
The game was saved by infielder Francisco Lindor, who made a stellar diving catch in the top of the ninth inning to keep the game tied at two apiece.
“The team has picked me up more times than I’ve picked them up this year. To be there for the guys, it meant a lot.”
The Mets would later go on to win the ballgame in the bottom of the 10th inning due to a throwing error by the Brewers.
After the game, Lindor dropped an honest statement on Jefry Yan, who didn’t fail to show his emotions in the 9th inning after Lindor’s amazing snag.
