Mets' Slump: 11-Game Losing Streak

0:00It's April 20th. New York Mets News Today starts now, AI powered and ready for kickoff. The New York Mets are in deep trouble after dropping a heartbreaker to the Chicago Cubs, 2-1 in 10 innings on Sunday. That loss stretched their skid to 11 straight, leaving them 7-15 overall in this brutal 20-26 season. It's their worst run since 2002. They led going into the knife, but closer, Devin Williams blew the save, letting the Cubs tie it up at 1. Then in the bottom of the 10th, Craig Kimberl gave up a sacrifice fly to Nico Herner, walking off with the win for Chicago. Mets pitching held up mostly, but those late collapses stung. Fans and analysts are calling it ugly baseball, with the offense firing blanks, just 6 hits that day and ranking 29th and runs scored at, 72 total, plus a weak point 624 OPS. Fans like Francisco Lindor, at 205 batting, and Boba shed around 217, are ice cold.

1:00No one's popping off except catcher Francisco Alvarez, with 4 homers, the rest of the lineup has barely cleared the fences. It's a lineup drought that's killing any momentum. They get a shot to snap at Tuesday at home against the Minnesota twins. Time to turn the page before this streak becomes legendary for all the wrong.
