Francisco Lindor leads resurgent Mets to 3-2 victory over MLB-leading Brewers in 10 innings

Francisco Lindor played a crucial role in the New York Mets' 3-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night. The Mets, currently last in the standings at 60-72, secured a narrow win in 10 innings. Lindor's game-winning catch at shortstop with the bases loaded in the ninth inning, followed by a scoring run on a throwing error in the 10th, proved decisive.

Lindor also homered in the game, his 154th homer for New York, tying him with Dave Kingman for sixth on the franchise list. His performance came on the same night as Luis Robert Jr.'s home run, as the Mets looked to take advantage of the Brewers' position at the top of the league. Carson Benge contributed with his 11th three-hit game, a notable achievement for a rookie.
