NEW YORK (Interstat) — The New York Mets survived a chaotic eighth inning that included a grand slam and a bullpen mix-up, then reclaimed the lead on Bo Bichette’s tiebreaking three-run double to beat the Minnesota Twins 10-8 on Thursday night at Citi Field.

The Mets snapped a 12-game losing streak with their second straight win, improving to 9-16. Minnesota fell to 12-13.

Devin Williams (1-1) got the win despite nearly entering the game in the wrong situation. With the Twins rallying in the top of the eighth, reliever Huascar Brazobán began warming. When the inning ended, Williams started walking in from the bullpen as Brazobán headed to the mound, creating a momentary confusion that the Mets sorted out before Williams eventually recorded the final three outs for the save.

Andrew Morris (0-1) took the loss after allowing two runs in two-thirds of an inning.

The decisive sequence came in the bottom of the eighth. Brett Baty led off with a single, advanced to second on Tyrone Taylor’s sacrifice bunt, then scored on Marcus Semien’s single. After Ronny Mauricio flied out, pinch-hitter Tommy Pham walked to load the bases. Bichette cleared the bases with a sharp line-drive double off the left-centerfield wall, scoring Baty, Semien and Pham to give New York a 10-7 lead.

The rally came immediately after Ryan Jeffers hit a grand slam off Brazobán in the top half of the eighth to put Minnesota ahead 7-6. Jeffers’ homer to left field scored Brooks Lee, Trevor Larnach and Josh Bell, erasing a 6-3 deficit and giving the Twins their first lead of the night.

The Twins could not hold it, but they kept fighting. In the ninth, Brooks Lee singled and Tristan Gray drove him in with a single to cut the lead to 10-8. Byron Buxton doubled to put two runners in scoring position with one out, but Williams struck out Trevor Larnach to end the game.

The game featured several lead changes and a steady offensive output from both sides. New York jumped ahead early, scoring three runs in the first inning on Baty’s three-run homer off Twins starter Joe Ryan. Baty finished 2 for 4 with three RBIs.

The Mets added three more in the second on a sacrifice fly by Francisco Alvarez and an RBI double from Luis Robert Jr., who drove in Bichette to make it 6-0.

Minnesota got on the board in the fourth when Josh Bell singled home Brooks Lee, who had reached on a fielding error by shortstop Ronny Mauricio. The Twins made it 6-2 in the sixth on Tristan Gray’s solo homer to right-center field off reliever Tobias Myers.

Carson Benge answered for the Mets in the bottom of the fourth with a solo homer, his second of the season, pushing the lead to 7-2. Benge went 2 for 3 with a double and a home run.

The Twins chipped away in the eighth with Jeffers’ grand slam, his third homer of the year, before the Mets responded in their half of the inning.

David Peterson started for New York and allowed one run on four hits over 3 1/3 innings, striking out two. Myers followed with 2 1/3 scoreless innings, striking out three. Christian Scott allowed one run in 1 1/3 innings.

Joe Ryan started for Minnesota and gave up four runs on seven hits over five innings, striking out five. He allowed three runs in the first but settled in, retiring eight of nine batters at one point before being pulled after 86 pitches.

The Mets played without star shortstop Francisco Lindor, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a calf injury sustained in Wednesday’s win. Mauricio started at shortstop and went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts.

Minnesota outhit New York 12 to 10. Both teams committed one error.

The attendance was 34,253, and the game lasted 3 hours, 6 minutes.

The series continues Friday when the Twins travel to Tampa Bay for a three-game set against the Rays. The Mets host Colorado for a three-game series beginning Friday at Citi Field.

Interstat’s game simulator had projected a final score of Minnesota 4, New York 2. Minnesota was a pregame favorite with a spread of minus 1.5. The total of 18 runs went over the over-under line of 7.5. The Mets were given a 57.6 percent chance to win by the ELO system.

The Twins took the series opener Tuesday with a 5-3 victory before the Mets evened the set Wednesday with a 3-2 win. New York’s 12-game losing streak began April 7 and included sweeps at the hands of Arizona, and the Los Angeles Dodgers before the Mets stopped the slide Wednesday.

After Jeffers’ grand slam in the eighth, the momentum appeared to shift entirely to Minnesota. But the Mets answered immediately with three consecutive base runners, setting the stage for Bichette’s game-winning hit. Bichette went 3 for 5 with three RBIs.

The Mets have now won back-to-back games for the first time since April 5-6, when they swept a three-game series at San Francisco.
