Mets' Williams Faces Slump, Soto's Return Hopes

0:00It's April 20th. This is New York meds news today, powered by AI. Your team, your update, Devin Williams, the meds closer, is spacing some real turbulence right now. In his last two outings, he blew his first save of the season Sunday against the Cubs. Michael Conforto smacked the game time double in the ninth, leading to a two to one loss in ten innings. Before that, he got shaled by the Dodgers, giving up four earned runs and just won out. His save chances have kept Williams on the shelf lately. Sunday was only his third appearance in 14 days. That rush showed with his 7.11 ERA over seven games this year, including three hits, a walk, and that lead off single to Ian Hap before. Conforto's big hit, Williams owned it after the game, saying he missed middle and conforto capitalized. Catcher Lewis Torrance even chatted with him on the mound, but it wasn't enough. The whole bullpen's under pressure, as the meds fight to stay competitive early on.

1:00Looking ahead, they've got a nine game homestand starting Tuesday against the twins, Rockies, and Nationals. Big boost coming too. Juan Soto should return soon from his cap strain after missing 14 games. Francisco Lindor called him irreplaceable, saying he'll lengthen the lineup but the team still got to execute. With Soto back and Williams shaking off this slump, the meds could turn things around quick. Keep an eye on that homestand, it might just spark a turnaround.
