Mets' Losing Streak Hits Eleven, Face Twins

0:00On April 19th, the New York Mets just wrapped up a nightmare road trip with a heartbreaking two-to-one loss to the Chicago Cubs in extra innings. Pushing their losing streak to a brutal 11-game straight. They actually jumped out strong by using Tobias Myers as an opener ahead of David Peterson, and it paid off with five shut-out innings combined before. MJ Melinda's crushed a solo homer in the fifth to grab a one-nothing lead. With the bullpen crumbled late, as closer Devon Williams led up a tying RBI double from X-Mit Michael Conforto in the ninth, and then the Mets. Stranded their ghost runner in the tenth, while Chicago cashed in on a sack fly by Niko Hurner. That defeat completed a sweep at Riggly Field right after getting swept by the Dodgers in LA, leaving the Mets dugout looking straight up defeated and facing a tough crowd back home. Now they gear up for the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night with Nolan McLean on the mound, trying to snap this skid before it spirals even further.
