Mets Struggle in Series, Need Quick Fix

0:00It's April 30th. This is New York Metz News today, driven by AI, your team, nonstop. The Metz keeps stumbling forward just to slide right back, and Wednesday night was no different against the nationals. After a strong offensive night Tuesday, they got crushed in the middle game of the series, dropping to 10 wins and 20 losses through their first. 30 games, the worst mark in baseball. Pitching fell apart quick. David Peterson, back in the rotation, lasted only 3.2 innings and gave up seven runs. Sean Manaya came in with the bases loaded, hit the first batter, then surrendered a grand slam as the pair allowed 13 of Washington's 14. Runs on 12 hits and 5 walks. The offense had chances but mostly fizzled, with just Juan Soto providing any real spark against solid nationals pitching. This loss stung extra, coming off 16 defeats in their last 19 games, leaving the team in a deep breath. Manager Carlos Mendoza laid it out plain, they need to step up after this long slump.

1:02Peterson echoed that, stressing one day at a time to break the cycle, no excuses as the first month wraps up Thursday. They faced one last shot to salvage the series and end April on a positive note, but without quick fixes, climbing out of last place stays aggrined.
