Mets News

The Mets' struggles continue as they fell 9-6 to the Cubs, exacerbated by another dismal outing from Kodai Senga, now 0-5 with a ghastly 10.08 ERA. The team also faced the cruel twist of losing Juan Soto to back tightness, compounding an already injury-riddled roster that has seen both stars and stability vanish. Just when there was a glimmer of hope with Francisco Lindor's potential return, the Mets find themselves in a tailspin. With a dismal 2-4 record over the last week and a run differential of -20, the math is grim. The offense is barely scraping by at 3.3 runs per game, while pitching ranks as a bottom-tier problem with an alarming 6.1 runs allowed per game. The Mets are in need of a miracle, but with Lindor's return on the horizon, maybe the tides can turn.
