The Minnesota Twins secured a 6-3 victory over the New York Mets with strong performances from Ryan Jeffers and Harrison Bader, who each had three hits. Brooks Lee's home run also contributed to the win. Byron Buxton's two singles and two runs added to the Twins' offensive efforts. Bailey Ober pitched 6 1/3 innings, allowing three earned runs and striking out five to earn his first victory since August 9.
The Mets saw home runs from Pete Alonso and Juan Soto, while Tylor Megill pitched five innings and gave up four runs, two of which were earned. The Twins capitalized on key moments, including Buxton's base-running to manufacture a run in the fifth inning. Jhoan Durán struck out Francisco Lindor to secure his first save of the season. The Twins totaled a season-high 13 hits in the game. In the upcoming series finale, RHP David Festa will start for the Twins, while the Mets will need to announce a replacement starter due to RHP Griffin Canning's illness.
