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.

Pinch-hitter Francisco Lindor, broken toe and all, hit a go-ahead two-run double in the ninth inning and the NL East-leading New York Mets beat the last-place Colorado Rockies 4-2.

The Mets were close to a miserable loss to one of the worst teams in the history of the sport Friday night. Enter Lindor, "a true pro."
