Game 3 at Minnesota
Twins score 3 in the first and the Mets couldn’t recover. Wade Davis allows just 2
runs in 6 1/3 innings and the bullpen does the rest, with 2 2/3 innings of no-hit ball.
Howard Kendrick drove in a pair of runs, while Ben Zobrist and Hunter Pence each went
3-for-5 at the top of the Twins' lineup. Cabrera enjoys his third straight game with
exactly 2 hits in 4 at-bats and an RBI, but the Mets’ 5-9 hitters were a combined
1-for-19. Twins, 4-2
