Nolan McLean delivered an impressive performance on Tuesday night, striking out ten batters and retiring the first 15 hitters he faced against the Minnesota Twins. The Mets took an early 3-0 lead thanks to a home run from Francisco Lindor. However, McLean's perfect game ended in the sixth inning when Matt Wallner hit a single, followed by Byron Buxton's two-run homer, which tied the game at 3-3. Despite showing signs of fatigue, McLean was allowed to start the seventh inning but was pulled after giving up two more hits. He concluded the night with three runs allowed on five hits. McLean acknowledged the need to improve his performance in later innings, as opponents have a significantly higher batting average against him after the fifth inning. Manager Carlos Mendoza praised McLean's efforts, stating, 'He’s our guy,' and expressed confidence in his ability to contribute to the team moving forward.
