Mets Walk Off Brewers After Lindor’s Game‑Saving Catch and Opponent Throwing Error

Rookie pitching and late defense are shaping close games as teams cope with injuries and heavy bullpen use down the stretch.

Overview

  • The Mets defeated the Milwaukee Brewers in 10 innings on Tuesday when a throwing error by David Hamilton allowed Francisco Lindor to score the winning run.
  • Francisco Lindor made a diving backhanded catch in the ninth to preserve the tie and later reached home on the Brewers’ errant throw that ended the game.
  • Rookie Zac Thornton delivered six innings of one‑run ball to extend his strong run and reduce immediate pressure on New York’s bullpen.
  • The White Sox placed right‑hander Huáscar Brazobán on the 15‑day injured list with a left lat strain, recalled Jonathan Cannon, and put Andrew Benintendi on the bereavement list.
  • Kansas City’s unexpected eight‑game winning streak and Detroit’s snap of a six‑game skid after Max Clark’s homer illustrate how short hot runs and roster moves are increasing volatility in the late playoff race.
