Francisco Lindor shakes off illness, comes off bench to rally Mets past Cubs 7
NEW YORK (AP) — Francisco Lindor delivered a pair of two-run doubles off the bench, rallying the New York Mets past the Chicago Cubs 7-6 in 11 innings Thursday for a split of their four-game series.
Right fielder Starling Marte made two rocket throws in extra innings, cutting down Cubs runners at the plate to end the 10th and 11th. Brandon Nimmo had two RBIs for the Mets, who overcame a 4-0 deficit to salvage a 3-4 homestand.
“It was exciting,” Marte said through an interpreter. “Whenever we make plays like that, it always gives us a boost offensively.”
Daniel Palencia (0-1) drilled Harrison Bader with a pitch to begin the bottom of the 11th. Lindor then lashed a sharp grounder inside third base and down the left-field line to score automatic runner Brett Baty and Bader.
Lindor didn’t start after leaving Wednesday night’s game early with flu-like symptoms — so that he wouldn’t “throw up” or “go number two” at shortstop.
