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.

It may not have been on the level of Willis Reed's comeback for New York sports fans, but Francisco Lindor certainly shone for the New York Mets amid an injury on Friday night.
