last night's loss

Hard to feel good about the data. Last night's 4-run loss is fresh and it shows. And 6.3 RA/G this week. Hard to keep the score up with that.

Mets News

The New York Mets suffered another demoralizing loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, this time falling 6-2 and dropping the series in what is becoming a troubling pattern of poor performance. David Peterson's early struggles on the mound continue to raise questions about his place in the rotation, especially with the team already stretched thin on starters. The lone bright spot was Carson Benge, who hit a solo home run, but it was far from enough to mask the team's deficiencies. Meanwhile, Francisco Lindor's anticipated return from the injured list could provide a much-needed spark, but it won’t be until at least Wednesday. With the Mets' record now at 34-42, the urgency to turn things around is palpable, especially as they prepare to face the same Phillies again tonight.

Mets Drop Series In Philadelphia Behind Peterson’s Early Struggles
Sports, and specifically baseball, can have patterns to them. As a season churns along, games start to mirror each other, even if they do not occur in the exact same way. This can happen when a team repeatedly fails, and it can happen when a team repeatedly succeeds.
