What initially started as a day off for Francisco Lindor ended with him as the hero for the New York Mets. On Wednesday, Lindor sustained a fractured pinky toe when getting hit in his right foot by Los Angeles Dodgers starter Tony Gonsolin.

New York Mets star shortstop Francisco Lindor told reporters on Thursday that he broke his right pinky toe after getting hit by a Tony Gonsolin slider during Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Pete Alonso provided a bright spot Thursday: He went 3-for-4 with a home run and provided the Mets’ lone RBI with runners in scoring position. After the Dodgers opted to intentionally walk Juan Soto to put runners on first and second with one out in the eighth inning, Alonso hit a single.
