Mets News

The Mets' woes continued in Milwaukee as they dropped the opener to the Brewers 8-3, further sinking their record to 42-59. Freddy Peralta's homecoming was anything but sweet, as he struggled to find his rhythm, yielding multiple runs early. The Mets’ offense, stagnant and uninspired, managed just six hits and fell to a dismal 1-for-4 with runners in scoring position, a far cry from the momentum they desperately need. On a slightly brighter note, Luis Robert Jr. made his long-awaited return from the injured list, but his presence alone wasn't enough to spark a lifeless lineup that has struggled to score consistently. With trade rumors swirling, the Mets must decide if they will shake things up or continue to languish in mediocrity.
