In a nail-biting finish, the Minnesota Twins pulled off a stunning 4-3 victory against the New York Mets in 10 innings on Wednesday, thanks to Byron Buxton's lightning-fast run home after a clutch hit by Ty France.

Despite a tense moment as Mets outfielder Tyrone Taylor nearly made a spectacular catch, the Twins' relentless aggression on the basepaths paid off. Taylor missed the ball by mere feet, allowing France to deliver a walk-off single that secured the Twins' longest winning streak of the season.

The game had its share of drama, particularly when Twins reliever Griffin Jax faced a collapse in the eighth inning, surrendering a three-run lead. The Mets capitalized, with Pete Alonso and Jesse Winker both driving in runs with back-to-back doubles, leading to the game-tying single by Luisangel Acuña.

Harrison Bader kept the game tied with a spectacular diving catch to end the eighth inning, showcasing the fierce competition between the teams as he shared a moment with his former teammate Tyler Taylor.

Jax's performance has fallen short this season, allowing an alarming 12 hits and six earned runs in just 7.75 innings—a far cry from his stellar performance last year.

The Twins initially built their lead through fearless base running. Willi Castro spearheaded the offense with a hustle double, sliding headfirst into second base after a center field hit.

Bader then made his mark, hitting an RBI single and pumping his fist as he acknowledged the crowd. Buxton continued the momentum with an RBI single and, making a daring second base advance, encouraged the 19,721 fans to cheer even louder.

In a critical sixth-inning moment, Castro’s ground ball, although met with a controversial call at first base, resulted in another run after Ryan Jeffers sprinted home.

Earlier, Twins pitcher David Festa faced early trouble but was salvaged by the quick thinking of his teammates. Lefty Danny Coulombe turned the tide with a stunning double play against the Mets' star Juan Soto, leaving the crowd buzzing with excitement.

Bader also shone defensively, preventing a run with a laser throw to the plate, demonstrating his hunger to win—even against his former team. Unfortunately, the game took a turn for the worse for umpire Hunter Wendelstedt, who exited after being struck by a foul line drive.

With intense plays and breathtaking moments, the Twins' victory not only boosts their spirits but also underscores the unpredictable thrills of baseball. This game will be one for the books!
