last night's loss

Hard to read this team right now. Losing by 4 last night pulls things in the wrong direction. Pair that with carrying 12 on the injured list. It adds up.

Mets News

The Mets squandered a golden opportunity for a sweep in Colorado, falling 6-2 and snapping their three-game winning streak. Just when it seemed like they were gaining momentum, Craig Kimbrel surrendered a go-ahead grand slam to Jake McCarthy in the eighth inning, a gut punch that left the team reeling. With the loss, the Mets missed a chance to finish their road trip 5-1, a significant step toward climbing out of the early-season hole of 14-22. The lineup, feeling more like a spring training roster than a competitive big league team, highlighted ongoing struggles. Now they must regroup quickly to face the Diamondbacks, as the pressure mounts and the road to relevance remains rocky.
