Mets Win at Minnesota, 5-2
The New York Mets stymied the Minnesota Twins, 5-2, at Target Field. Mike Moustakas, who had a good day at the plate, was named player of the game. He was 3-4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs for New York. After today's action, New York sits at 54-42, while Minnesota falls to 39-54.

New York used the timely hitting of Salvador Perez to capture the win. The catcher stroked a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Mets on top, 3-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but he made it count.

"Chalk one up for the good guys," said Moustakas. "I'm sure our fans enjoyed that win."
