Overview

  • Ty France delivered a walk-off single in the 10th inning, scoring Byron Buxton under MLB's extra-innings runner rule.
  • The Twins built a 3-0 lead but saw it erased in the eighth inning after Griffin Jax allowed three runs on four hits.
  • Harrison Bader's defensive efforts, including a diving catch and an outfield assist, preserved key moments for Minnesota.
  • A missed call at first base on Willi Castro's infield single in the sixth inning stood as the Mets had already used their challenge.
  • The victory marked the Twins' second series win of the season and extended their winning streak to match their longest of the year.
