Francisco Lindor delivered a pair of two-run doubles off the bench, including the game-winner, in the Mets' walk-off win against the Cubs at Citi Field.
NEW YORK — 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.
A walk to DJ Stewart loaded the bases, and Brown was pulled with a multi-run lead one out short of qualifying for his first career win for the second time in 24 days. Thompson struck out slugger Pete Alonso to end the inning.The 24-year-old Brown was raised on Long Island about 50 miles from Citi Field and attended Ward Melville High School, which also produced big league pitchers Steven Matz and Anthony Kay — both of whom were drafted by the Mets.
