Mets Manager Mendoza Makes Shake-Up, Benching Peterson

0:00It's April 19th. Welcome in. This is New York Metz News today, where your team meets AI. I'm Corey with the story. The New York Metz are in deep trouble with a 10 game losing streak that's got everyone talking. Their offense has only managed 18 runs during this skid, including three shutouts, two of them against the athletics on April 10th and 12th. Now heading into Sunday's series finale against the Chicago Cubs, third year manager Carlos Mendoza is shaking things up by swapping starters. He's benching left-handed David Peterson for right-handed Tobias Myers, hoping to spark something different since nothing else is clicking. The lineup tweaks haven't worked, and the team's desperate to snap this nightmare run. Mendoza's keeping it real, saying it's all about the best move for the squad, no matter how it looks. Fans and analysts see this as a sign of urgency, with the Metz grasping at any edge to turn the tide before things spiral further. Peterson struggled hard this year at zero wins and three losses with the 6.41 ERA, coughing

1:01up 14 earned runs and eight walks over. His last 14.1 innings, last season he was solid at 9 and 6 with a 4.22 mark, so this breather might reset him. Myers, picked up in that deal involving Freddie Peralta, has been steady from the bullpen with a 3.46 ERA outside one rough outing. He's no stranger to starting either, going 8 and 7 with a 3.48 ERA across 31 big league starts. Fingers crossed, he delivers the spark to get the Metz back in the wind column.
