Mets Win Wild Game, Despite Bullpen Blunder

0:00On April 24th, the New York Mets pulled off a wild 10-8 win over the Minnesota twins last night, snapping drama in the ninth with a bullpen blunder. That still ended in victory. Boba Shet crushed a tie-breaking three-run double, their second straight win after a brutal 12-game losing streak. Even without star Francisco Lindor on the injured list for a calf issue, they hung tough as City Field. Early on, the Mets jumped ahead with Brett Beatty's three-run homer in the first and built leads of 6-1 and 7-2. Twins clawed back, though, as Ryan Jeffers smashed a grand slam against Quascar Brazovan, his first ever allowed in the majors, making it a one-run. Game. Fans held their breath with the Mets injury woes. Juan Soto backed from his own calf strain, but went 0-4-3 with two walks. Still, the crowd roared when Beatty and Marcus Simeon singled, setting up that huge bashed hit off the wall for a three-run edge. Here's where it got chaotic. Lights dimmed.

1:00Closer, Devon Williams jogged from the bullpen, but Brazovan had already crossed the foul line from the dugout. Rules said Brazovan had to pitch, so he got a quick ground-out before Williams jumped in to fan the side, striking out key threats despite Bucston's double. Mets starters struggled. Christian Scott walked five in just one and a third innings. Joe Ryan gave up seven runs, but the pin locked it down. Momentum shifting now as they chased that playoff push.
