With the score tied at 2 and Ryne Stanek pitching in the eighth, Jordan Beck singled, Thairo Estrada doubled and Hunter Goodman walked to load the bases with no outs. Ryan McMahon hit a sharp liner to third that Baty was able to snag on the fly, applying the tag to Beck to double him off third. Brenton Doyle then struck out.

Pinch-hitter Francisco Lindor, broken toe and all, hit a go-ahead two-run double in the ninth inning and the NL East-leading New York Mets beat the last-place Colorado Rockies 4-2.

Just when another night of anguish with RISP appeared ready to spell R.I.P. for the Mets, a wounded star came to the rescue.
