Joe Ryan gave up two homers early as the New York Mets built a 7-2 lead through five innings, but the Minnesota Twins climbed all the way back, with an epic two-out grand slam and bat flip by Ryan Jeffers tying the game in the eighth inning.
No team has faced left-handed pitchers more often than the Minnesota Twins so far in 2026, which is another reason why their 9-7 record is one of baseball's biggest surprises.
It was a bumpy finish, but Minnesota held on for an 8-6 win over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night, bringing them one win away from a four-game sweep of the defending AL Central champs.
