All was forgiven, though, when Francisco Lindor did not fail.
The shortstop knocked a bases-clearing single in the sixth inning Friday night, driving in all the runs the Mets needed in a 3-2 win at Nationals Park to open a four-game series.
The Mets were down, 2-0, in the sixth inning in large part because of a lack of clutch hits and an error by Lindor. Francisco Lindor drives in three runs with a single in the sixth inning of the Mets’ 3-2 win over the Nationals.It was the only hit the Mets collected with runners in scoring position — and the only one they needed.
Robertson was stretched to 1 ²/₃ innings and walked two in the ninth, putting the potential winning run on first base. Manager Buck Showalter summoned Smith, who struck out Lane Thomas to end the game and record his first save of his career. But after Nimmo walked, Lindor ensured the mental error didn’t matter — and ensured his own physical error also didn’t matter.
