A pop up to shallow center Saturday night pretty well summed up the 2026 Mets. Francisco Lindor was calling for it, but gave way at the last second to Tyrone Taylor, who in theory should have an easier read on it coming in.

Given how the Mets’ starting pitching has fared over the last week, it looked like it could be another long night.
