ICYMI: The Guardians lost in a heartbreaker thanks to a face that was all too familiar.
NEW YORK — Pete Alonso tied the game with a grand slam in the seventh inning and Francisco Lindor won it with an RBI single in the 10th as the New York Mets rallied from a 5-0 deficit to beat the Cleveland Guardians 10-9 on Friday night.
Lindor pointed toward the home dugout and spiked his helmet before rounding first base, turning around and getting swallowed up by a group of teammates led by another rookie, Brett Baty. “Starting to feel the guys are expecting something good to happen instead of something the other way,” manager Buck Showalter said. “We’ve had enough of the other side. It’s time they got some return.”
Naylor hit a two-run single in the seventh, but Sam Hentges — who got Álvarez to fly out on the first pitch as the potential tying run to end the sixth — allowed the first three batters to reach in the bottom half. James Karinchak fell into a 3-1 hole against Alonso before the slugging first baseman homered to right-center to make it 7-7.Alonso turned around as he rounded first, yelled and took a few steps backward while motioning to the home dugout following his third career grand slam.
