Result: Loss
Minnesota at New York Mets 7:10 ET
Twins over Mets- Left-hander Jose Quintana (5-6, 4.02 ERA) is slated to start for the Mets against Twins right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson (3-1, 3.27). The Mets took their second straight loss to the Atlanta Braves and settled for a split of the four-game series. The Twins finished a series win over the host Detroit Tigers in style, as right-hander Bailey Ober allowed just one hit over eight innings in 5-0 victory in the rubber game of the set. The consecutive losses to the Braves represented a rare recent hiccup for the Mets. New York was in 13th place in the NL on May 29 but leads the majors with a 33-17 record since. The Twins won 12 straight games from April 22 to May 4, but they also endured losing streaks of four, five and seven games in the first 10 weeks. Minnesota has been more consistent since June 9, a span in which its 25-15 record is tied with the Houston Astros for the best in the American League and ranking behind only the Mets (28-14) in the majors. The Twins lead the majors with 234 runs since June 9, two runs ahead of New York. Quintana is 7-8 with a 4.05 ERA in 21 career starts against the Twins. Woods Richardson was selected by the Mets in the second round of the 2018 draft. Take MINNESOTA!
