Mets' Skid: McLean's Perfect Streak Can't Stop Slide

0:00It's April 22nd. This is New York Metz News Today Team News, powered by AI. The New York Metz just dropped their 12-strain game, falling at home to the Minnesota Twins and a rough one at City Field. That puts the Metz 7 wins in 16 losses, already 8.5 games back in the National League East. It's been two weeks without a victory, and the pressure is mounting fast. One bright spot came from rookie pitcher Nolan McLean, who fired perfect ball through five innings before it unraveled. He joins Elite Company as just the third hurler since 1961, with two perfect bids of five or more innings in his first five starts of A. Time. Season, linking up with Kelly Downs in 1988 in Juan Mara Shal, back in 1966. McLean also cracked the Metz history books, becoming the third Met ever, with two such perfect stretches in one season, alongside Steve Traxelin, 2002, and Rick Reed in 1998. Still, he surrendered three runs that night.

1:01Fans are straight up furious, and injuries like the one to Juan Soto aren't cutting it as an excuse for the second straight nightmare start. This kid has everyone questioning if home field will ever spark a turnaround. They get another shot at the Twins on Wednesday, hoping McLean's firelights affuse to snap this streak before it buries the season.
