Even in the ecstasy of hitting a two-run home run that ultimately clinched a postseason berth for the New York Mets on Monday afternoon, Francisco Lindor could not help but think about how much his back was hurting him.
My back hurts, I'm tired, I know how good Atlanta is, Lindor recounted his thought process as he rounded the bases following the Mets' thrilling 8-7 victory.
It's been an uphill fight, Lindor said. We put ourselves in a big hole. We kept climbing; we kept our shoulders above water after the All-Star break.
We counted on each other, we believed in each other. The job that Mendoza has done is outstanding We believe.
