Mets, Phillies Fight to Avoid NL East Basement

0:00It's April 23rd. This is New York meds news today, powered by AI Everything Happening with your team. I'm Corey with the story. The New York meds finally snapped their 12-game losing streak on Wednesday night against the Minnesota Twins. It marked Juan Soto's return from the injured list, but the win came with a catch. Francisco Lindor left the game with tightness in his left calf. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Phillies kept sliding, dropping their eighth-street game to grab the longest active skid in baseball. Now tied with the meds at 8 wins and 16 losses for the worst record in the national league. Both teams usually battle for the top spot in the NL East, but right now they're scrambling to stay out of the basement. The Phillies' offense has been ice cold, with the worst run differential in the league at minus 50. Managers are staying confident despite the rough starts. Rob Thompson and Phillie and the meds crew know April slums happen, but players and fans are feeling the heat as scoring woes pile up. The whole league's eyes are on these two.
