Mets News

The New York Mets stumbled against the San Francisco Giants, dropping the second game of the series 9-5, as rookie Zac Thornton surrendered four home runs, a stark contrast to the five long balls the Mets belted just a day prior. The loss underscores the inconsistency that has plagued this team, now sitting at 64-77. On a brighter note, A.J. Ewing broke a lengthy power drought, launching his first homer in nearly two months, offering a glimmer of hope amid a season that's been more about rebuilding than contending. Meanwhile, Juan Soto continues to shine, collecting his third LatinoMVP award, a reminder of the star power the Mets have in their lineup, even as questions swirl around the future of players like Mark Vientos. The season may be winding down, but there's still drama at Citi Field.
