Lindor plunking overshadows Scherzer's return; Mets top Nats
Mets Nationals Baseball New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor, left, is pulled from the game by manager Buck Showalter, right, after he was hit by a pitch during the fifth inning of a baseball game against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park, Friday, April 8, 2022, in Washington. So when Washington reliever Steve Cishek's second pitch caught Lindor in the jaw in the fifth inning Friday, Mets manager Buck Showalter led the charge, cursing as he headed to the field. Mets and Nationals players and coaches met on the grass between home and third base. Lindor squared to bunt, and Cishek’s second pitch was high and inside. Nationals: Rizzo declined to offer a timeline for when RHP Stephen Strasburg (thoracic outlet syndrome surgery last year) might be ready to pitch.
