Twins Set Target Field Attendance Low at 10,240 During Loss to Mets

The Minnesota Twins faced a disappointing night both on and off the field, suffering a 5-1 loss to the New York Mets while drawing a crowd of just 10,240, the lowest in Target Field's history excluding COVID-19 impacted seasons. Despite strong pitching performances from both starters, Clay Holmes for the Mets and Joe Ryan for the Twins, Minnesota's offense struggled, resulting in only three hits and tying a season high with 13 strikeouts. Juan Soto hit his first home run of the season for the Mets, helping them secure their ninth win in 11 games, as the Twins fell to a record of 5-12. Manager Rocco Baldelli acknowledged the team's challenges, particularly highlighting their failure to capitalize on a bases-loaded opportunity. The attendance decline reflects growing frustration among fans as the Twins' current performance has not sparked interest. The Twins' next game features pitcher Bailey Ober, looking to turn around their fortunes amidst ongoing struggles.
