Mets News
The Mets' season of disappointment continued as they were thrashed by the Baltimore Orioles, losing 7-1 in a game where starter Xzavion Curry was torched for six runs and four homers in just three innings. This lackluster performance came on the heels of Pete Alonso's return to Citi Field, where he not only homered but highlighted the stark contrast between past success and the current struggles of a team sitting at 69-83. With injuries further decimating the roster, it's clear the Mets are merely playing out the string. The offense is still capable, averaging 6.3 runs over the past week, but without solid pitching, those runs are rendered meaningless. As the season winds down, fans are left with more questions than answers about the future of this franchise.
