Mets shortstop Jose Reyes defended Francisco Lindor following a poor performance in the team's 2-1 loss to the Cardinals, which ended in extra innings. Lindor had previously forgot how many outs there were in the first inning and was picked off at first base later in the game, while also going 0-for-4. Reyes posted a supportive message on his behalf, stating that "bad days happen" and that Lindor's performance will be good for him and the team. The team's performance left them 1-3 in their last four games, all against non-contenders from 2025.
