Starling Marte plays hero in extras as Mets escape with walk-off win over Nationals
Just when the Mets needed another hero, Starling Marte stepped to the plate in the 10th inning Monday night and became that guy. With Francisco Lindor’s lower back still aching — but maybe not as much as the Mets lineup — Marte smacked a walk-off RBI single that gave his team a 2-1 victory over the Nationals at Citi Field.
