Coming off a split of a two-game series against the Nationals, the Mets are in Minnesota this weekend, set to play three games against the Twins. And for the first time since agreeing to almost signing Carlos Correa, the team will see him as an opponent.
Having had two days off this week, the Mets blew out the Nationals on Tuesday night in a game that included a lot of home runs—including Pete Alonso’s 42nd of the year. But on Wednesday night, despite getting a gem from José Butto, the team scored just two runs and its bullpen coughed up a two-run lead and ultimately lost the game.
