Mets News

The Mets managed to snap their dismal slide with a much-needed win against the Angels, but let's not pretend this team is out of the woods yet. After a brutal April that saw them stumble to a 7-19 record, sitting at 10-21 overall, they're still fighting to regain any semblance of momentum. Christian Scott took the mound, struggling with a 6.75 ERA, but that didn’t stop the Mets from rallying behind Juan Soto's power. Speaking of which, Soto's offensive prowess remains a bright spot in an otherwise bleak week. The Mets have been far too inconsistent, averaging just 2.6 runs per game lately, and with David Stearns backing manager Carlos Mendoza amid the chaos, fans are left wondering how much longer this losing streak can last. The road ahead is tough, but a glimmer of hope shines through tonight's victory.
