It would have been bad enough for the Twins on Tuesday if they had just lost Matt Wallner.

The right fielder, who has been among their most productive players this season, started limping after legging out an infield single in the first inning. He walked off the field alongside head athletic trainer Nick Paparesta and manager Rocco Baldelli.

But with the way things are going this season for the Twins, things managed to get even worse. In the fifth inning, Carlos Correa tweaked his wrist. He did not even attempt a practice swing, coming out of the game mid at-bat.

Wallner, the Twins say, left the game with left hamstring tightness. Correa left with left wrist soreness. But even in the face of that adversity, the Twins won, beating the New York Mets 6-3 at Target Field, a badly-needed jolt on a day of injury.

“I think we just picked those guys up,” center fielder Byron Buxton said. “Tonight was a perfect example of making sure we’ve got each other’s backs.”

The Twins (6-12) now await news on both. The two are expected to get magnetic resonance imaging on Wednesday.

Correa, after the game, said he does not believe his wrist soreness is “anything too serious.” The shortstop said he has been dealing with some discomfort in his left wrist since last season.

He has been working on strengthening the area but felt a tweak on a swing and miss and then when he fouled a ball off in his at-bat, he felt pain in the area.

“Hopefully I’m back in there as soon as possible,” Correa said.

Wallner said his leg felt tight — not painful — which he took to be a good sign, at the very least.

“I don’t really know because I’ve never done anything similar to that,” Wallner said.

Down two of their biggest lineup threats, the Twins collected 13 hits and provided plenty of offense in support of starter Bailey Ober.

The Twins scored two runs in the third and then a run in each of the next four innings as they created some space between themselves and the Mets (11-6).

Ryan Jeffers, who just missed a two-run home run in the fourth inning, finished the night with three hits, including a pair of doubles. Brooks Lee, who entered for Correa, hit his first home run of the season, Harrison Bader added three hits of his own, and Buxton had two, also scoring a pair of runs.

One of those runs came when he sped home on the contact play, after which a clearly-fired up Buxton let out a big yell of emotion.

“You can only get unlucky and can only hit the ball at people and can only struggle for so long,” Jeffers said. “We’re too good to not be able to handle that and snap out of it, and I think we all feel confident in that.”

Ober did his part, as well, working into the seventh inning after allowing two solo home runs — one to Pete Alonso, another to Juan Soto. He left with a pair of runners on in the seventh, one of which scored before Cole Sands extracted the Twins from the jam.

While the Twins did a good job tacking on runs, the Mets were still in it until the very end, bringing the tying run to the plate with two outs in the ninth inning before Jhoan Duran got Mets star Francisco Lindor to strike out swinging to end the game.

“There was a lot that didn’t go our way in this game,” Baldelli said. “It didn’t stop us, didn’t get in our way from just continually doing positive things.”
