The New York Mets’ magic continues. Francisco Lindor hit a grand slam in the sixth inning to lift his squad to the National League Championship Series.
Stay comfortable, New York Mets fans. Your magic carpet ride continues.
The Metropolitans, who are reliving their “Miracle” nickname from the infamous 1973 season, are headed to the NLCS after taking Game 4 of a division series against the Philadelphia Phillies, and they did it in wild fashion.
The Mets did not get the big hit early. They loaded the bases in both the first and second innings but came away scoreless. In the fifth, they put their first two runners on, but Jeff Hoffman saved the day by retiring inherited runners.
The Mets again loaded the bases in the sixth before an out was recorded, and, this time, they cashed in.
Francisco Lindor, the team’s most valuable player, who has come through time and time again throughout this magic carpet ride, blasted a grand slam to give New York a 4-1 lead.
