The New York Mets beat the Minnesota Twins 5–1 on Monday in front of a sparse crowd on a cold rainy night at Target Field. It was 1–1 heading into the sixth inning, which is where things fell apart in hilarious fashion for the home team.
With one out and a runner on, Mark Vientos hit a ball to the gap in right-center. Pete Alonso, who singled to lead off the inning, scored easily from first as Vientos cruised into second base. As he made a small turn he saw second baseman Willi Castro take the cutoff and turn to throw.
