Mets' Williams Struggles in Ninth, Losing Streak Continues

0:00It's April 22, I'm Corey with The Story, and this is Milwaukee Brewers News, today. AI-powered updates on your squad. Devin Williams is hitting a rough patch with the New York Mets, capping off their 12 straight loss Tuesday night against the Minnesota Twins. The Mets fell 5-3, with Williams serving up two runs in the 9th without recording a single out. Now sitting at 7 wins and 16 losses, they've got the worst mark in the National League. In that inning, he gave up a single, walked three straight, including one with the bases loaded, and the Mets botched a sacrifice bunch. Austin Warren came in the cleanup, striking out the side, but it was too late. Williams has led in runs over his last three appearances, including a blown save on April 19, and four runs allowed April 15. This echoes what went down last year after he got traded from the Brewers to the Yankees. He started hot-no, wait, ugly early with an 11.25 ERA by late April, but bounced back strong over 33 games before fading.

1:01Late, fans are feeling the frustration as the Mets sink deeper into this skid. Williams inked a three-year, $51 million deal with New York this off-season, but so far he's got just two saves in a brutal 9 point. 9.5 ERA over 8 games, and 6 in a third innings. Back in Milwaukee from 2020 to 2024, he dominated with a 1.70 ERA, racking up 361. Strikeouts. Meanwhile, his half-season stint with the Brewers last year was lights out at 1.25 before a playoff meltdown. The Mets are hoping he flips the script, like he did before, but right now, that rollercoaster ain't stopping anytime soon.
