Mets Crush Giants 8-2 to End Losing Streak, Lindor’s Homers Lead the Charge

The New York Mets snapped a three-game losing streak and finished their road trip with a 3-3 record after defeating the San Francisco Giants 8-2 on Wednesday morning. The Giants were forced to empty their bullpen after starter Blake Snell was scratched due to a left adductor strain, and the Mets took advantage of the opportunity by controlling the strike zone and being aggressive against San Francisco’s young relievers. Francisco Lindor went 4-for-5 with a pair of two-run homers to drive in four runs and score two, while Tyrone Taylor went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored. Reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Snell had gotten off to an awful start since signing late with the Giants, but the Mets expected his best. Right-handed reliever Ryan Walker replaced him, giving the Giants one inning before they turned to Sean Hjelle, Landon Roupp, Erik Miller, Luke Jackson, Taylor Rogers, and Mitch White.
