Mets News

The New York Mets are officially in free fall, suffering their tenth consecutive loss after a frustrating 4-2 defeat to the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. Freddy Peralta, who was supposed to be the ace that would lead them out of the dark, saw his solid outing wasted as the bullpen faltered immediately after his exit. The bats showed some signs of life with 14 hits across two games, but the lack of scoring when it matters keeps the team in the cellar, now sporting a dismal 7-13 record. With Tobias Myers slated to start the series finale against the Cubs, fans are left hoping that a fresh face can end this historic skid. But as the Mets sit on their longest losing streak since 2004, optimism feels as fleeting as a summer breeze at Wrigley.

The New York Mets have now lost ten in a row after losing to the Chicago Cubs 4-2 on Saturday.
