TORONTO (AP) \u2014 George Springer capitalized on two miscues to circle the bases with a Little League homer<\/a>, Trey Yesavage pitched into the seventh inning and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the bumbling New York Mets 2-1 on Monday night, snapping a six-game losing streak. <\/p>\n

Francisco Lindor homered but the Mets lost for the ninth time in 10 games. They\u2019ve dropped three of four since Andy Green took over as interim manager<\/a> when Carlos Mendoza was fired last Friday.<\/p>\n

Former Blue Jays infielder Bo Bichette played in Toronto as a visitor for the first time after signing with the Mets last winter. The sellout crowd of 41,634 gave Bichette a standing ovation before his first at-bat.<\/p>\n

Bichette went 0 for 4 as New York (35-50) fell 15 games under .500 for the first time since 2018. The most games under .500 for a team that reached the postseason was 16 by the 1914 Boston Braves at 12-28, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.<\/p>\n

Yesavage (4-3) allowed one run and three hits in 6 2\/3 innings to win for the first time in three starts. He walked none and struck out three.<\/p>\n

Mason Fluharty got one out in the seventh, Tyler Rogers worked the eighth and Louis Varland finished for his 17th save in 17 chances.<\/p>\n

Springer led off the bottom of the first with a line drive to left field that bounced past Juan Soto and rolled to the wall as Toronto\u2019s designated hitter raced to third for a triple. Rookie center fielder A.J. Ewing came over to back up but bobbled the ball, allowing Springer to score without a play.<\/p>\n

The Blue Jays added a second run in the fifth. Luis Ur\u00edas hit a leadoff double, advanced on a groundout and scored on Myles Straw\u2019s sacrifice fly.<\/p>\n

Lindor cut the deficit in half with a leadoff homer in the seventh. It was his third home run of the season and first since coming off the injured list last Wednesday after missing two months with a calf strain.<\/p>\n

Sean Manaea (1-3) permitted two runs and three hits in 5 2\/3 innings. The left-hander is winless in four starts this season. He walked two and struck out four.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Mets RHP Nolan McLean (4-5, 4.03 ERA) is scheduled to start Tuesday against Blue Jays RHP Kevin Gausman (4-6, 4.36). <\/p>\n
