Embattled Mets<\/a> closer Devin Williams<\/a> allowed a tiebreaking RBI single to Luke Keaschall<\/a> in the ninth inning, and New York lost its 12th consecutive game, falling 5-3 to the Minnesota Twins<\/a> on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

The Mets’ skid is their longest since they dropped 12 straight from Aug. 10-23, 2002. No team has made the playoffs after a season in which it lost 12 in a row.<\/p>\n

Matt Wallner<\/a> followed Keaschall by drawing a bases-loaded walk off Williams (0-1), who didn\u2019t retire any of the five batters he faced before being booed off the mound. Williams has allowed seven runs while recording four outs in his last three appearances.<\/p>\n

The Mets were in position to end their streak when Nolan McLean<\/a> retired the first 15 Twins batters and Francisco Lindor<\/a> hit a three-run homer in the third to give the Mets their biggest lead since April 5, when they beat the San Francisco Giants<\/a> 5-2.<\/p>\n

The homer was Lindor\u2019s first with a man on base since last Aug. 15 \u2014 one day before McLean\u2019s debut.<\/p>\n

Wallner led off the sixth with a single off McLean and Byron Buxton<\/a> homered with two outs. Keaschall tied the game with an RBI single in the seventh.<\/p>\n

A quartet of Twins pitchers retired the final 14 Mets in order. Cole Sands<\/a> (1-1) tossed the last two innings.<\/p>\n

McLean allowed three runs and struck out 10 in 6 2\/3 innings. Twins starter Simeon Woods Richardson<\/a> gave up three runs and struck out two in five innings.<\/p>\n
