Twins Recover to Beat Mets, Lynx Fall in Chicago

The Minnesota Twins rallied to beat the Mets at home Friday, while the Lynx fell to Chicago in their second-to-last regular season matchup. On Saturday, the University of Minnesota, St. John's University, and North Dakota State University football teams will each look to earn their second win of the season.

RECAPS:

- The Twins came from behind to beat the Mets 5-2 at home on Friday. Royce Lewis put Minnesota on the board first with an RBI double in the bottom of the opening inning. After two scoreless innings, New York responded with two runs to take the lead in the fourth before Carlos Correa knocked one out of the park and tied the score up 2-2. Minnesota went on a run in the bottom of the seventh, with a run scored on an error, another RBI double from Lewis, and an RBI single from Max Kepler to secure the win. The Twins improve to 74-67 and the Mets fall to 64-76.

- The Lynx have already clinched a spot in the 2023 post-season but fell 92-87 on the road to the Chicago Sky Friday. Minnesota held a 19-16 lead after the opening quarter, but stumbled in the second, trailing 44-39 at the half. The Lynx fought hard in the final two quarters, but could not catch Chicago. Napheesa Collier led all scorers with 28 points for Minnesota, and Diamond Miller added 24. The Lynx fall to 19-20 and currently sit in sixth place.
