Mets Lose 11th Straight, Mendoza in Hot Seat

0:00It's April 20th, welcome to New York Metz News today, AI Power Coverage of your squad. The New York Metz just dropped their 11th straight game, falling 2-1 against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. That puts manager Carlos Mendoza under serious fire as the team skid hits a brutal low. The Metz nursed the one-nothing lead into the 9th, but closer Devon Williams gave up an RBI double to Michael Conforto, tying things up. He struck out the next 2, but in the 10th, a pass ball put a runner on 3rd and a sacrifice fly sealed the loss. Williams is pushing back hard on blaming Mendoza alone. He told reporters, it's on the players, they're not swinging the bat or throwing strikes when it counts. The manager's putting them in spots to win, but the team's just not delivering in these tight games. Even with the last couple losses by two runs or less, Williams owns some of that heat with a 7.11 ERA in his 7 outings for the Metz. teammate Francisco Lindor echoed the support, defending Mendoza amid the mess.

1:01The whole squad needs to dig deep and snap the streak before it buries the season, finding their rhythm starts now, or changes could come fast.
