Twins Drop Third Straight

Dominic Smith put the Mets in front with his pinch-hit, three-run homer in the seventh inning, and rookie All-Star Pete Alonso added a 474-foot homer in a 14-4 victory on Wednesday that stuck the Twins with their first three-game losing streak this season.

Amed Rosario went 4 for 4 with a home run and three RBIs for the Mets, who set a 2019 high for runs and matched a season best with their fourth consecutive victory.

Left fielder Eddie Rosario dropped a routine fly at the warning track for a two-base, two-out, two-run error in the six-run eighth, giving the Twins six errors and 11 unearned runs in five games since the All-Star break.

This game got so out of hand for the Twins that utility infielder Ehire Adrianza pitched the ninth, as the Mets improved to 5-0 at Target Field, where they also won three games in 2013.

Nelson Cruz and Mitch Garver homered for the Twins.
