Key Points:

- During the top of the ninth inning with the game tied 2-2, the SNY broadcast feed went dark as Francisco Lindor made a diving catch to end the Brewers' bases-loaded threat.

- The Mets’ official account later posted the replay of Lindor’s impressive catch, providing some relief to fans who missed it live.
