Mets Stumble into May, Face Nationals in Series Finale

0:00It's April 30, I'm Cory with the story, and this is New York Met's News Today, AI-powered updates on your squad. The New York Met's are stumbling hard into May, sitting at 10 wins and 20 losses after dropping the second game of their series to the Washington, Nationals 14-2. They won the opener 8-0, but got crushed yesterday, capped by a 7-run 4th inning for Washington, including a grand slam. Now they're wrapping up a brutal April on the final day. This is a far cry from last year when they didn't hit 20 losses until late May, or even their hot start this season at 19-7 through. Most of April, but they've wasted an easy schedule, blowing leads against sub-500 teams like the Nats. Fans are feeling the pain as injuries pile up. Center Fielder, Luis Robert Jr. just hit the shelf with a herniated disc in his back, joining. Shortstop Francisco Lindor. Juan Soto's back in the lineup but sideline from fielding with four arm tightness and the pitching staff's getting hammered too.

1:00David Peterson and Shamania both got shaled in that loss, giving up 13 runs combined. Meanwhile, Nationals pitcher Cade Cavali struck out 10-0 for six innings for his first win. Tomorrow's rubber match could salvage the series. Met's Ace Freddie Peralta, 1-3 with a 3.90 ERA, faces Nationals' righty miles. Mikolas, 0-3 with an 8.49. First pitch at 110 p.m. Eastern, a win here might stop the bleeding before May hits full stride.
