Bowden Francis took the no-hitter and a 1-0 lead into the ninth, only to lose both on a homer from Lindor on an 0-2 pitch. Francis was removed, and the Mets went on to score five more times in the inning, with the go-ahead run scoring on a Pete Alonso sac fly.

Alonso smoked one 422 feet at 108.4 mph off the bat for his 31st home run of the year. He now has 78 RBI on the season and has put together another dependable season, even after a slow start.
