NEW YORK — – Francisco Lindor<\/a> made a diving catch at shortstop with the bases loaded in the ninth inning and scored the winning run on a throwing error in the 10th to lead the New York Mets<\/a> past the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> 3-2 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Lindor and Luis Robert Jr<\/a>. homered for the last-place Mets (60-72), who are 13-6 since selling big at the trade deadline. Lindor’s homer was his 154th for New York, tying Dave Kingman for sixth on the franchise list.<\/p>\n

Carson Benge<\/a> had his 11th three-hit game for the Mets, most among major league rookies.<\/p>\n

With the Mets resting a couple of high-leverage relievers in their revamped bullpen, Austin Warren<\/a> was summoned in the ninth to protect a 2-1 advantage. He gave up a leadoff double to William Contreras<\/a> and a tying double to pinch-hitter Christian Yelich<\/a> that left runners at second and third with nobody out.<\/p>\n

But the major league-leading Brewers (81-51) were never able to push across the go-ahead run. With the bases loaded and two outs, David Hamilton<\/a> hit a line drive off left-hander Jefry Yan<\/a> that Lindor snagged on his backhand with a dive to his right.<\/p>\n

A fired-up Yan pounded the turf and Lindor shouted in celebration – but then Lindor got picked off first base by closer Trevor Megill<\/a> to end the bottom of the ninth.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Pintaro<\/a> (2-0) stranded two in a hitless 10th, and Megill loaded the bases with one out in the bottom half on an intentional walk to Benge and an unintentional one to Robert.<\/p>\n

Christopher Morel<\/a> hit a grounder wide of third, and Lindor scored when Hamilton’s throw to the plate was wild.<\/p>\n

Mets starter Zac Thornton<\/a> allowed one run and seven hits in six innings. Fellow rookie Nate Lavender<\/a> extended his career-opening scoreless streak to 9 2\/3 innings by retiring all six batters he faced before giving way to Warren, whose only big league save came as an Angels rookie in 2021.<\/p>\n

Luis Lara<\/a> had an RBI single for Milwaukee, which finished 2 for 14 with runners in scoring position. Contreras went 3 for 4 with a walk, and starter Kyle Harrison<\/a> permitted one run over five innings.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Brewers RHP Dustin May<\/a> (6-8, 4.57 ERA) starts the middle game of the series Wednesday night against RHP Robert Stock<\/a> (0-2, 5.40).<\/p>\n
