Mets Lose 8th Straight, Swept by Dodgers

0:00On April 17th, the New York Mets just suffered their eight straight loss, getting swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers in a three-game series that ended. Eight to two last night, Bed drops the Amazons to seven wins and 12 losses on the young season, and their offense looks ice cold right now. Things stayed tied into the bottom of the eighth, when the Dodgers jumped ahead three to one and then exploded for five runs, thanks to a grand slam. From Dalton rushing in a solo shot that sealed the deal, Mets hitters managed only five hits total and struck out 14 times, with 10 of those whiffs coming off Dodger's star, Shohei Otani. Over this skid, they've scored just 12 runs total, and in six of those games, two runs or fewer. Injuries aren't helping either, with Juan Soto still rehabbing a calf issue, Jorge Palanco dealing with an Achilles problem, and Jared Young now. Sidelined by a torn Maniscus in his left knee, even when healthy, this lineup lacks punch. Manager and players admit it's frustrating, calling it extreme, but blaming tough pitching matchups lately, though keep grinding to snap this streak and get bats clicking before it spirals further.
