Mets Drop Their 12th Straight as Devin Williams Struggles Again
Devin Williams failed to record an out, and the Mets were booed by a sparse crowd as their payroll-heavy club fell to 7-16.
- On Tuesday, the New York Mets lost their 12th consecutive game, falling 5-3 to the Minnesota Twins after closer Devin Williams allowed a tiebreaking RBI single to Luke Keaschall in the ninth inning.

- Shortstop Francisco Lindor hit a three-run homer in the third inning to provide an early lead, but a quartet of Twins pitchers retired the final 14 Mets in order afterward.

- Slugger Juan Soto is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday after missing 16 games, potentially providing offensive help for a Mets team outscored 67-22 during the losing streak.
