After the Mets’ bullpen blew the first two games of the series against the Twins, the Mets looked to hopefully take one win in Minnesota. After a pitchers’ duel through eight, the Mets were able to push across two runs in the top of the ninth to win the damn thing 2-0.
Pablo López was absolutely dominant for the Twins this afternoon, going inning innings, allowing just two hits, and striking out 14. Lopez didn’t walk a batter or allow an extra base hit. The Mets could not figure him out at all.
Thankfully, Tylor Megill started for the Mets and had one of his most successful starts of the season, going five innings, giving up two hits, four walks, and two strikeouts without allowing a run.
