Injured Lindor Hits Clutch Double Lifts Mets Over Rockies

Despite nursing a broken right pinky toe, New York Mets star Francisco Lindor delivered a clutch pinch-hit two-run double in the ninth inning to secure a 4-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies. Lindor, who was questionable to play following the injury sustained earlier in the week, entered the game with two outs and two runners on base, driving in Juan Soto and Pete Alonso to give the Mets a decisive lead. The Mets struggled with runners in scoring position throughout the game but managed to capitalize in the late innings, with Alonso also contributing a two-run double in the seventh. The Rockies had their three-game winning streak snapped and continued to struggle this season, while the Mets extended their winning run to six consecutive games against Colorado. The victory highlighted Lindor's resilience and importance to the team, as he convinced the Mets not to place him on the injured list despite his injury. Mets closer Edwin Díaz secured the save with a perfect ninth inning, preserving the win.
