The Mets fans who showed up to Citi Field on Tuesday night were none too happy when they walked out of the Queens ballpark, and they voiced their frustration throughout a disastrous night.
The Mets lost to the Twins 5-3 after holding a three-run lead over the Twins for their 12th straight loss.
After Devin Williams imploded in the ninth and allowed the go-ahead runs to score, the Mets called in Austin Warren to try and clean up the mess.
After he struck out his second batter of the inning, Mets fans began sarcastically chanting “M-V-P” at the right-hander.
The small but vocal group of Mets fans that had started the tongue-in-cheek chant summed up the frustration of Mets fans on Tuesday 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.
