Francisco Lindor’s Mental Mistakes Cost the Mets in an Extra-Inning Loss to the Cardinals
Francisco Lindor’s two mental mistakes helped the Mets strand 11 runners and drop a 2-1 decision in 11 innings.
- On Wednesday, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the New York Mets 2-1 in 11 innings after right fielder Carson Benge failed to catch a fly ball, allowing the winning run to score.
- Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor made uncharacteristic mental mistakes Wednesday, including losing track of outs in the opening inning, which pressured the team's pitching staff throughout the game.
- During the sixth inning, Lindor was picked off first base right before teammate Juan Soto homered; the team went 1 for 29 with runners in scoring position during the three-game series.
- Manager Carlos Mendoza offered no excuses for the mistakes, stating "There's no excuses," while Lindor remained accountable, saying "I've got to be better, and go out there and win the next series."
- The Mets have totaled 12 runs in their last five games after scoring 11 on opening day against Pittsburgh, highlighting an offensive slump the team must overcome to find consistency.
