Pete Alonso tied the score in the ninth inning with his major league-leading eighth home run, and the New York Mets beat the struggling Oakland A's 4-3 in 10 innings to complete a three-game sweep.
Lindor's third homer of the series came two days after he set a franchise record for shortstops with seven RBIs.
Alonso's milestone home run was the 88th of his career on the road, matching Carlos Beltran for fifth-most by a Mets player. Afterward, manager Mark Kotsay went through the clubhouse encouraging players with a quick check in or fist on their arm. Making his second major league start, José Butto allowed one run in five-plus innings for New York in his season debut. Butto was called up from the minors and inserted into the rotation when Max Scherzer was pushed back a few days due to a sore back.
