Mets' Devin Williams struggles as they fall to Twins for 12th straight
Key Points:
- The New York Mets extended their losing streak to 12 games, their longest since 2002, after a 5-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.
- Mets closer Devin Williams struggled significantly, allowing two runs in the ninth inning and raising his season ERA to 9.95, while facing five batters and allowing all to reach base.
- Francisco Lindor provided a rare bright spot with a three-run homer in the third inning, helping the Mets take an early lead, but the team ultimately could not hold on.
- Starting pitcher Nolan McLean delivered a strong performance with 6.2 innings pitched, 10 strikeouts, and three runs allowed, but the bullpen faltered late in the game.
- The Mets will look to break their losing streak with Clay Holmes pitching in their next game on Wednesday night.
