Mets End 12-Game Losing Streak with 3-2 Win Over Twins
The New York Mets secured a much-needed 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins, ending a 12-game losing streak in a tightly contested matchup.
Mark Vientos delivered the decisive moment in the eighth inning, hitting a go-ahead RBI single to break the tie and put New York ahead.
Mixed Night for Mets Stars
The game marked the return of Juan Soto, who had been sidelined with a calf strain. He contributed with a single and a walk in his comeback appearance.
However, the Mets faced another setback as Francisco Lindor exited the game due to calf tightness. The shortstop appeared to struggle while running the bases after scoring earlier in the game.
Key Moments in the Game
The Twins leveled the score in the sixth inning when Byron Buxton hit a leadoff home run, continuing his strong form.
In the eighth inning, Brett Baty helped build momentum by drawing a walk, followed by another patient at-bat from Francisco Alvarez, who also earned a walk. This set the stage for Vientos’ game-winning hit.
Strong Pitching Finish
Pitcher Luke Weaver played a crucial role late in the game. He escaped a bases-loaded situation in the eighth inning and closed out the ninth with three strikeouts, securing the win.
Ending the Slide
The victory marks the Mets’ first win since early April and provides a boost after a difficult stretch. Despite the positive result, the team will be monitoring Lindor’s condition closely moving forward.
