The Mets defeated the Twins 10-8 behind Bo Bichette’s tiebreaking double and later placed Francisco Lindor on the 10-day injured list with a calf strain.
The Mets beat the Twins 10-8 on April 23, but the bigger news for New York was Francisco Lindor landing on the 10-day injured list with a left calf strain.
Bo Bichette delivered the decisive blow with a tiebreaking three-run double in the eighth inning. Brett Baty also homered, launching a three-run shot in the first inning, and Carson Benge added a homer and multiple hits.
The injury update came after Lindor exited the previous night’s game while running the bases. MLB reported that the Mets placed him on the 10-day injured list and recalled Ronny Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse to take his roster spot.
The result gave the Mets another win, but Lindor’s absence is the more immediate concern. The team has not given a firm timeline beyond the minimum IL stay.
For now, New York’s offense has shown enough depth to win without perfect health, but the next stretch will test how long that can last without its shortstop.
