Mets Manager's Job on the Line in Nationals Series

0:00On April 28th, the New York Mets are hosting the Washington Nationals for a three-game series at City Field after getting swept by the Colorado, Rockies over the weekend. New York started hot with two wins against the Minnesota Twins, but quickly fell back into a slump, dropping those three straight to Colorado, and sitting at nine wins and 19 losses early in the season. Teams in this kind of hole usually shake things up fast, like the Boston Red Sox firing Alex Cora after a 10 and 17 start. Or the Philadelphia. Philly's letting go of Rob Thompson following a nine and 19 mark. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza still has support from the front office and players, but the pressure is mounting with the offense sputtering and the bullpen blowing games. Fans and analysts are buzzing that someone has to take the fall, and it won't be the players or general manager David Sterns. The starters have mostly held up, except for Cody Senga and David Peterson, which might buy Mendoza some time if they keep delivering. Tonight's opener pits Mets' righty clay homes against Nationals' right hander Zach Wattell at 710 PM Eastern.

1:06Homes is two in two with a 2.10 ERA over 30 innings and five starts, while Lattell sits at zero in three with a 7.5. Six ERA and has given up 11 homers already. This series could decide a lot for New York's shaky start. I'm Cory with the story, and you've been listening to New York Mets News today, AI Power Team Coverage.
