New York Mets News & Updates

The Mets' struggles hit a new low as they were dismantled by the Cardinals for the second consecutive night, falling 9-2 and showing no signs of competitiveness on the field. David Peterson’s inability to keep the game close, yielding two homers and contributing to a 7-0 deficit, epitomizes a rotation that's limping under the weight of injuries, with 11 players on the IL. As the Mets sit at 29-37, it’s hard to shake the feeling that they’re treading water after a brief glimpse of hope during their road trip. The hot bats of Juan Soto and Eric Wagaman need to ignite to turn this ship around, but right now, the Mets look more like a sinking one, with the Wild Card race slipping further out of reach.
