The New York Mets have finally ended their historic losing streak after earning their first win in 13 games on Wednesday night.
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani can breathe a sigh of relief following the Mets’ much-needed victory over the Minnesota Twins, which ended the ‘curse’ fans believe he had inflicted on them.
Following his visit to Citi Field earlier this month, when he was filmed embracing mascots Mr. and Mrs. Met, the struggling MLB team endured their worst-ever losing run after going 0-12.
Yet 13 proved lucky for the Mets on Wednesday night, when they finally ended that skid and Mamdani’s curse by snatching a 3-2 win over the Twins in Queens.
Mark Vientos drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, before pitcher Luke Weaver closed it out in the ninth to seal the victory.

Juan Soto finally made his long-awaited return for the Mets after missing the last 15 games – and the team’s disastrous skid – with a calf injury, but he endured a disappointing first game back.
Before Vientos’ winning run, Soto was picked off first base in the eighth inning, with the $765million slugger seen looking despondent as he trudged back to the dugout.
In the end, though, his return coincided with the Mets bringing their nightmare 0-12 run to an end at long last.
