a rough stretch

Rough stretch. The 1-6 record this week is doing most of the damage. Also weighing on the score: last night's loss by 3 drags the score down.

Mets News

The New York Mets suffered a 3-0 shutout against the Philadelphia Phillies, but the game was overshadowed by a terrifying incident involving Jared Young, who was carted off the field after a violent collision with pitcher Nolan McLean. Young was rendered unconscious after his head struck McLean's knee, leading to a lengthy pause as he received medical attention before being taken to the hospital. While the Mets certainly needed a win to boost their morale, the focus now shifts to Young's health, and thankfully, he was able to give a thumbs up to fans before leaving. This season continues to spiral downward, with the Mets now facing the grim reality of another loss and the specter of injuries hanging over a struggling roster.
