Mets Lose 12th Straight, Deep Trouble

0:00On April 22nd, the New York Metz just dropped their 12 straight game, falling 5-3 against the Minnesota Twins. It happened on Tuesday night when closer Devon Williams gave up a tie-breaking RBI single to Luke Keishaw in the 9th, and then Matt Walner drew a, basses loaded walk. Williams didn't retire a single batter in that mess and got booed off the mound. This skid matches the Metz longest since 2002, when they lost 12 in a row from August 10th to 23rd. No team has ever bounced back from 12 straight losses to make the playoffs in the same season, so New York's indeed trouble right now. Fans were hyped early with Ricky Nolan McLean retiring the first 15 Twins batters and Francisco Lindor crushing a 3 run homer in the third. His first with runners on since last August 15th, that gave the Metz their biggest lead in over a month. But the Twins chipped away with Walner singling to start the 6th, Byron Bucks in homering later, and Keishaw tying it in the 7th. A group of Minnesota relievers then shut down the final 14 Metz batters, including Cole Sands working the last two innings clean.

1:06McLean struck out 10 over 6 and 2-3rds, but it wasn't enough. Looking ahead, the Twins hand the ball to Debbie Tont Conner pre-lipped tomorrow, while Clay Holmes takes the hill for New York with his solid 1 point. 9-6 ERA. Tough road keeps rolling.
