    Mets broadcaster Gary Cohen couldn’t hold in his excitement over Francisco Lindor’s game-tying home run in the top of the ninth against the Blue Jays.

    Harkening back to a bit of Knicks history, Cohen exalted “Linsanity” when Lindor ended Bowden Francis’ no-hitter bid with a blast to right field.

    “And a home run ends this no-hit bid. Linsanity!” Cohen said on air. “Francisco Lindor ties the game with a ninth-inning home run. As big a hit as the Mets have had all season. Francisco Lindor breaks up the no-hit bid and the shutout and he ties the game with his 31st home run of the year.”

    The home run jumpstarted a six-run ninth inning that erased a 1-0 deficit and led to a 6-2 win for the Mets as they took the series against the Blue Jays with a crucial series against the Phillies coming up this weekend.

    Tyrone Taylor could be heard away from the scrum yelling, “Of course he did, he’s a dawg.”

    “It’s time to win baseball games and coming up to Toronto and facing good pitchers, and ending up with two wins, is a good start to the road trip,” Lindor said.

    Cohen’s “Linsanity” comment was a reference to the Jeremy Lin craze that swept New York City during the 2011-12 season when the Knicks player rose to stardom out of nowhere and the Knicks strung together a slew of wins.
