Mets Snap Skid, But Offense Still Struggles

0:00It's April 23rd. This is MLB News Today, powered by AI, you're around the diamond update. I'm Cori with the story. The Mets finally snapped their 12-game losing streak last night with a tight 3-2 win over the twins, but at 8 wins and 16 losses. This season's off to a rough start for the Amazins. They lost big names like Nemo, Alonzo and McNeil in the offseason, so they reloaded with vets like Cori Polanco, Luis Robert Jr. from the White. Socks, Marcus Simeon, and a huge 3-year $126 million deal for Boba Shet to play 3rd base. Analyst and XGM Jim Bowden called out their offense as the main problem, and the numbers back it up, with the team sitting 26 in batting. Average, dead last and on base in OPS. Bashet's hitting just 220 with one homer and a sky-high strike-out rate. Polanco's at 179 before landing on the IL with wrist. Trouble, and even holdovers like Betty and Vientos are slumping hard.

1:01Now with Francisco Lindor sidelined by a calf strain, fixing that weak bats lineup looks even tougher, though that recent victory might spark A. Turn around if they get hot soon.
