On a cold, windy, rainy night in Minnesota, the Mets picked up a tidy 5-1 victory over the lowly Twins.

While none of Clay Holmes first few outings have been quite as dominant as his efforts in Spring Training, you can see the makings of an excellent starting pitcher.

He picked up his second win of the season, going 5 innings, with 2 walks, 2 hits and 8 strikeouts. For a moment, he looked like the wheels were about to come off in the 5th, after a walk, a hit by pitch, a wild pitch and a 2nd walk loaded the bases. But he was able to find it again, getting out of the inning, only allowing 1 run.

On the offensive side, Pete Alonso stayed hot, with 2 hits, 2 walks, an RBI, and a run scored. Acuña was on base 3 times, and Juan Soto added a big 2-run homer.
