The path to Buehler having a semi day off began after he hit Lindor with a pitch in the third inning of a scoreless game.

The numbers underscore his impact: according to SNY’s Gary Apple, the Mets have now won 24 consecutive games in which Lindor has homered.

After the game, a video surfaced of Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor calling for the umpires to eject Buehler — and the right-hander saw the clip.
