The New York Mets are not in a great place. Losers of 12 straight games, not even the news of outfielder Juan Soto’s return gave the Mets a boost of energy.

Tuesday night’s loss gave the Mets a new feeling of pain, as right-hander Nolan McLean took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, but lost it. Minnesota Twins outfielder Matt Walner singled, and center fielder Byron Buxton drove him in with a two-run home run two hitters later to chase McLean from the game.

The bullpen failed to hold the lead for the Mets, with right-hander Devin Williams proving to struggle the most.

Williams was the one reason why a 3-2 lead turned into a 5-3 loss. In his one inning of work, the two-time All-Star (2022 and 2023) didn't record an out, walked three, and allowed two earned runs.
