Overview
- New York edged Minnesota 3-2 on Wednesday at Citi Field, snapping a 12-game losing streak on Mark Vientos’ two-out bloop single in the eighth for the decisive run.
- Francisco Lindor left with left calf tightness after scoring from first in the fourth, and manager Carlos Mendoza said he will get an MRI on Thursday after Bo Bichette slid to short and Brett Baty entered at third.
- Juan Soto returned from a right calf strain and went 1-for-3 with a walk as the designated hitter, and Mendoza said the team will monitor his workload and plans to play him in the outfield next game.
- Starter Clay Holmes worked seven innings and allowed two runs, and Luke Weaver escaped a bases-loaded jam in the eighth before striking out three in the ninth to close out the win.
- Top pitching prospect Christian Scott is set for a Thursday start as the Mets juggle the rotation and consider a call-up for shortstop coverage if Lindor lands on the injured list.
