Mets Lose Heartbreaker, Lindor's Aggressive Send Fails

On March 29th, the Mets dropped a tough 4-3 decision to the Pirates in 10 innings at Cityfield,

all because of one aggressive call at the… plate.

Coming off an 11 inning win the night before, New York had a rally brewing in the bottom

of the 10th, with two runners on and nobody out.

Juan Soto crushed a double to score one run, tying the game, but third base coach Tim

Leipers sent Francisco Lindor from first.

That decision went sideways quick.

Which shortstop Jared Trio low, gunned a perfect relay throw, and catcher Henry Davis

slapped the tag right on Lindor's face as he slid in, saved no… out by a mile.

The rally died right there, and Pittsburgh held on for the win.

Lindor took a hard hit and looked rattled, but he walked it off with no real injury.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza, back to sin, saying they planned to push the envelope against

Pittsburgh all series.

Pirates fielder O'Neill Cruz has a cannon for an arm, and Trio low proved it with that

laser.

Lindor actually broke out of a slow start, ripping a triple in the fifth, scoring, then

singling, and walking to spark that late rally.

He mentioned some discomfort in his surgically repaired left hand from sliding into third,

but it faded fast, nothing major.

The Mets still grabbed two out of three to open the season strong, dodging a full sweep.

Lindor says he's feeling solid, ready to build on this.
