Mets' Wild Win Snaps Losing Streak

0:00On April 24th, the New York Mets pulled off a wild 10-8 win over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday night, bouncing back from a dramatic grand slam that tied the game late. Right-hander Craig Kimbrill loaded the bases in the top of the 8th with the Mets up 7-3, then Huascar Brasovan came in and surrendered. The big blast to catcher Ryan Jeffers, his first in the majors. Right after, in the bottom of the 8th, third baseman Boba Schett crushed a go-ahead double that played at three runs, giving the Mets a 10-7 edge, heading to the 9th. Manager Carlos Mendoza wanted closer Devon Williams to seal it, but a bullpen blunder changed everything. Brasovan jogged out to the mound by mistake. Crossed the foul line and had to start the inning, making Williams ineligible for the save. Brasovan got a quick ground-out from right-fielder Austin Martin, then Williams took over. Gray's RBI single-trimmed it to two runs, but Williams struck out Trevor Larnick on a nasty change-up at two and two to end it.

1:01This victory snaps the Mets into a two-game win streak after their worst skid since 2002.
