미네소타 트윈스가 화요일 밤 시티 필드에서 뉴욕 메츠를 상대로 5-3 역전승을 거두며 4연패 사슬을 끊었다. 메츠의 신인 놀란 맥린은 5회까지 퍼펙트 피칭을 선보였으나 6회 트윈스가 반격에 성공했다. 이번 패배로 뉴욕 메츠는 구단 역사상 공동 6번째로 긴 12연패의 수렁에 빠졌다.
놀란 맥린은 경기 초반 트윈스 타자 15명을 모두 범타로 처리하고 첫 타자 9명 중 7명을 삼진으로 잡아내는 등 압도적인 투구를 펼쳤다. 이 신인 투수는 시즌 최다인 10개의 탈삼진과 2.67의 평균자책점을 기록했으나, 6회 선두 타자 맷 월너에게 안타를 내준 뒤 바이런 벅스턴에게 2점 홈런을 허용하며 3-0 리드가 3-2로 좁혀졌다. 맥린이 6회까지 퍼펙트 게임을 이어간 것은 4월 3일 샌프란시스코전 이후 올 시즌 두 번째다. 올해 상대 타자들은 그의 5회까지 투구에 대해 0.075의 낮은 타율을 기록 중이다.
X(트위터)에서는 놀란 맥린의 5이닝 퍼펙트 호투에도 불구하고 3-0 리드를 지키지 못한 메츠의 12연패에 대한 논의가 이어졌다. 트윈스 팬들은 루크 키스콜의 결정적인 안타 등을 포함한 막판 반격을 칭찬하며 4연패 탈출을 반겼고, 메츠 팬들과 기자들은 불펜 붕괴와 전반적인 부진에 대해 실망감을 표했다.

New York had a 3-0 lead with Nolan McLean perfect through five tonight.
Then the Twins tied it, the Mets’ offense vanished against a weak Minnesota bullpen and Devin Williams imploded in the ninth.
What else is there to say at this…
The Twins’ struggling bullpen retired all 12 Mets batters they faced
