Tuesday evening at Citi Field was a turbulent one for Mets supporters, who left the stadium in Queens disheartened and vocal about their disappointment.
The Mets fell to a 5-3 defeat against the Twins, despite initially leading by three runs, marking their 12th consecutive loss.
Devin Williams faltered dramatically in the ninth inning, surrendering the decisive runs, prompting the Mets to summon Austin Warren to try and salvage the situation.
After Warren managed to strike out his second batter of the inning, the fans began a mocking “M-V-P” chant, directed at the right-hander.
This small but spirited contingent of Mets fans used the sarcastic cheer to encapsulate the collective exasperation felt throughout the night.
Warren did manage to end the pain by getting the last out of the inning and capping the damage to just a 5-3 deficit.
Video from inside the stadium showed Citi Field nearly empty by the time the final out was recorded.
And the fans that did remain all the way until the end were loudly booing as the Mets left the field.
The Mets’ 12-game losing streak is the longest the franchise has had since the team lost 12 straight back in 2002.
“We’re all very aware of it,” Francisco Lindor told reporters after the latest defeat. “But at the end of the day, every day is new. We have to come out and bring it. It’s one of those where you know what’s happening and everybody has the urgency of winning and trying to do their best. You just got to learn from it and move on.”
Mendoza told reporters afterward that “it sucks” after the loss.
The Mets have two more games against the Twins before they begin a three-game series against the Rockies in Queens.
