Mets Snap Skid, Win in Eighth

New York Mets End Losing Streak with Nail-Biting Victory Over Minnesota Twins

The New York Mets finally ended their twelve-game losing streak with a thrilling three-two win over the Minnesota Twins. Mark Vientos delivered the game-winning single in the eighth inning, breaking a deadlock after the Mets fought back from an early tie.

Juan Soto returned from a strained right calf, picking up a single and a walk, but Francisco Lindor had to leave the game with left calf tightness after scoring on Francisco Alvarezs double in the fourth. Byron Buxton smashed a leadoff homer in the sixth to knot things up at two runs apiece.

Fans are relieved after the Mets worst skid since August 2002, their longest in over twenty years. Brett Baty stepped up for Lindor, drawing a key walk that set the table for the eighth-inning rally.

Luke Weaver came through big, escaping a bases-loaded jam in the eighth and striking out the side in the ninth for his second win. Twins prospect Connor Prielipp impressed in his big-league debut, striking out six over four innings despite the loss.

Looking ahead, Minnesota sends All-Star Joe Ryan to the mound tonight against Christian Scott, whos back from Tommy John surgery for his first start since last year. The Mets hope this momentum carries into the series finale.
