Mark Vientos<\/a> blooped a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning and the New York Mets<\/a> snapped their 12-game losing streak Wednesday night, beating the Minnesota Twins<\/a> 3-2 after getting one superstar back only to see another exit with a similar injury.<\/p>\n

Juan Soto<\/a> went 1 for 3 with a single and a walk in his return from a strained right calf, but shortstop Francisco Lindor<\/a> was removed with left calf tightness after laboring around the bases while scoring from first on Francisco Alvarez’s<\/a> go-ahead double in the fourth.<\/p>\n

Byron Buxton<\/a> tied it 2-all with a leadoff homer in the sixth against Clay Holmes<\/a>, his second longball in two nights.<\/p>\n

Brett Baty<\/a>, who came off the bench to replace Lindor in the lineup, drew his second walk of the game with two outs in the eighth against Taylor Rogers<\/a> (0-1). Alvarez coaxed a nine-pitch walk from Justin Topa<\/a> before Vientos dumped an RBI single into shallow right field. Vientos had blatantly ran through a stop sign rounding third and was easily thrown out at home plate for the final out of the sixth.<\/p>\n

Luke Weaver (2-0) retired Luke Keaschall<\/a> with the bases loaded to end the top of the eighth and struck out three batters in a one-hit ninth to secure New York’s first victory since April 7 at home against Arizona.<\/p>\n

The 12-game skid was the team’s longest since August 2002.<\/p>\n

Connor Prielipp<\/a>, the Twins’ top pitching prospect, needed 82 pitches to get through four innings in his major league debut. But the 25-year-old left-hander showcased a good slider and limited a slumping New York lineup to two runs and four hits with six strikeouts and no walks.<\/p>\n

Holmes allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings.<\/p>\n

Batting cleanup, Lindor drove in a run by legging out an infield single with two outs in the first and Victor Caratini’s<\/a> sacrifice fly tied the score in the fourth.<\/p>\n
