The nightmare in Flushing continued Tuesday night and it’s getting late early at Citi Field.
As their season spirals down the drain, the Mets lost their 12th straight game on Tuesday, this one 5-3 to the Twins.
They expected it to be loud in Queens and it eventually was, as the Mets blew a three-run lead, didn’t get a hit after the fifth inning and then saw Devin Williams implode in a tie game in the top of the ninth.
It left the Mets at a new low point in 2026 with little reason for optimism that their fortunes will change anytime soon, as no team has ever made the playoffs after losing a dozen games in a row.
The skid is the franchise’s longest since they dropped 12 in a row in 2002.
And to think, the chilly night started off about as well as it could for a Mets team in desperate need of a turnaround.
By the end of the third, Nolan McLean had retired all nine batters he faced- striking out seven.
In the bottom of the third, Francisco Lindor turned on a 3-2, four-seam fastball from former Mets prospect Simeon Wood Richardson and blasted it 410 feet into the right field seats to provide a 3-0 lead.
But if we know anything about this Mets team, it’s that they simply don’t do easy victories.
Or, these days, they don’t do victories. At all.
