Jesse Winker Plays Integral Role In Mets Comeback

Francisco Lindor joked postgame that someone might need to check on Jesse Winker’s hamstrings.

Lindor delivered the walk-off sacrifice fly in the New York Mets’ 3–2 comeback win over the Blue Jays on Saturday, but it was his old buddy Winker who did the heavy lifting. Winker ripped a game-tying, two-run triple in the bottom of the eighth — his second triple of the night — to set the table for Lindor’s heroics.

For context: in 2,791 career plate appearances entering Saturday, Winker had three triples.
