Mets closer Devin Williams booed after another ninth-inning meltdown

Devin Williams was booed as he blew a tie in the ninth inning of the Mets’ 5-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins, failing to record an out after walking three and allowing the final two runs; his season ERA rose to 9.95 as New York’s bullpen woes continued and the club extended its skid to 12 games. Add in prior rough outings (grand slam vs. Dodgers, blown save vs. Cubs) and Williams’ mechanical struggles with his changeup, and fans and observers questioned whether the earlier relief from his Yankee-era reputation was a fluke.
