In the bottom of the first inning, Lindor reached on an infield single to third base, and Bichette scored easily. The ball barely traveled six feet off the bat, but it was enough to put the Mets ahead one-nothing. Although the Twins' pitching staff built its reputation on steady consistency, they faced an early deficit. The Mets' aggressive approach at the plate gave them the advantage heading into the second inning. New York's early momentum suggested they might challenge Minnesota's visiting squad.

Mets Walk Off with Late Inning Victory
The game remained tied two-all going into the eighth inning, keeping fans on the edge of their seats. Both teams had shown resilience after falling behind, but New York made the final crucial play. With runners on base and two outs in the bottom of the eighth, Vientos stepped up to the plate under pressure. He singled to right field, and Baty raced home to score, giving the Mets a three-to-two lead. Then in the ninth inning, the Mets added crucial insurance, extending their advantage and securing the victory. Minnesota could not answer back in the top of the ninth, ending their winning streak.
