The New York Mets lost to the Minnesota Twins 5-2 tonight at Target Field for their second consecutive loss and dropped their record to 64-76.

RHP Kodai Senga had another solid start allowing two runs on four hits in six innings.

Senga gave up four walks with five strikeouts and lowered his ERA to 3.07

RHP Sean-Reid Foley came in next in the bottom of the seventh and was let down by his defense after catcher Francisco Alvarez made a throwing error on a caught stealing attempt which allowed a run to score.

Later in the inning, Reid-Foley gave up a RBI single to 3B Royce Lewis and RF Max Kepler and was then taken out.

RHP Grant Hartwig had to come in to get the last out in the bottom of the seventh.

RHP Sam Coonrod threw a scoreless bottom of the eighth.

The Met offense did not do much outside of a two-run double by SS Francisco Lindor in the top of the fourth.

The Mets next game is tomorrow afternoon,  Saturday, September 9 at the Twins at 2:10 p.m.
