Mets Defeat Twins 5-1 in Minneapolis Showdown

In a chilly game on Monday night, the Minnesota Twins faced off against the New York Mets, with the Mets ultimately winning 5-1. Clay Holmes pitched for the Mets, striking out the side in the first inning, while Joe Ryan performed well on the mound for the Twins despite a couple of errors from the pitching staff. Matt Wallner stood out for the Twins, hitting a triple, but overall, the team's struggle with errors continued, including a notable throwing mistake that allowed a run to score. The matchup also featured AL Player of the Week Ty France, who was recognized for his impressive batting average and runs. Attendance was low due to the cold weather, and the Twins are hoping to spark fan interest with a recent home run celebration involving a Spartan helmet. This game marked the start of a three-game series between the teams.
