New York Mets News & Updates
The New York Mets were 38-54, 5th in the NL East. Yesterday, the New York Mets dropped one to the Kansas City Royals 12-16 at Citi Field.
The numbers aren't lying. Dropping one by 4 last night stings. Pair that with pitching at 8.4 RA/G. That's a problem.

Mets News
In a shocking turn of events, the New York Mets made history for all the wrong reasons, suffering a staggering 16-12 loss to the Kansas City Royals despite scoring a franchise-record 12 runs at home. This disastrous outing lays bare the team's ongoing struggles, as they find themselves mired in mediocrity with a record of 38-53. The pitching woes continue to plague the Mets, with Cionel Pérez taking the mound tonight against Royals' Seth Lugo as the team seeks to piece together a semblance of consistency. Activating Jorge Polanco from the injured list and designating Alex Carrillo for assignment adds to the chaos of roster moves, but it’s clear that if the Mets want to salvage anything from this season, they’ll need more than just lineup changes. The cellar-dweller clash against Kansas City is a must-win for a team desperately clinging to hope.
