The Minnesota Twins secured a 4-3 victory over the New York Mets as Ty France's game-ending single in the 10th inning sealed the win. Byron Buxton's presence on second base as the automatic runner set the stage for France's decisive hit off Reed Garrett, clinching just the Twins' second series win in six sets this season. Harrison Bader, Buxton, and Willi Castro contributed RBI singles for the Twins in the game.
In the eighth inning, the Mets staged a comeback with Pete Alonso and Jesse Winker hitting RBI doubles to break a 12-inning scoring drought, while Luisangel Acuña leveled the score with a two-out single. Despite the Mets' efforts, a diving catch by Bader and solid relief pitching from Justin Hagenman in his major league debut could not prevent the Twins from securing the series win. Francisco Lindor's hitting streak at Target Field extended to 20 games, the longest by an opponent in the ballpark's history since August 2019. The Mets are set to face the St. Louis Cardinals in a four-game series, while the Twins will take on the Atlanta Braves in their upcoming games.
