The Mets kept on walking Friday night — unofficially they got enough steps in to reach the Nevada border — and Francisco Lindor was the chief beneficiary.
Lindor twice came to bat with the bases loaded and in those plate appearances, he all but maximized his output.
Lindor delivered the knockout punch with his three-run double in the fifth inning, after the Mets, for the second time in the game, had forced in a run and kept the bases loaded without the benefit of a hit.In this case, Eduardo Escobar, Luis Guillorme and Tomas Nido had all walked and Brandon Nimmo was hit by a pitch. Daniel Vogelbach walked leading off the inning and, with one out, James Kaprielian threw eight straight balls to Guillorme and Nido, loading the bases.
Ramon Laureano followed with a bloop single to a similar spot before Senga struck out Jace Peterson to end the threat. Senga finally got hit hard in the fourth: Connor Capel smashed a single before Shea Langeliers delivered a two-run homer that sliced the Mets’ lead to 6-3.
