Mets suffer 10th straight loss with season already mired in ugly mess
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- The New York Mets extended their losing streak to 10 games with a 4-2 defeat against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, nearing their longest skid in 22 years.
- Pitcher Freddy Peralta struggled in the sixth inning, walking two batters and allowing a three-run homer by pinch hitter Carson Kelly, which proved decisive in the Cubs' victory.
- The Mets' offense remained weak, scoring two runs or fewer in eight of their last ten games, with Mark Vientos hitting a solo home run early in the game.
- Cubs starter Jameson Taillon limited the Mets to one earned run over six innings, while Mets pitchers combined for multiple mistakes that contributed to the loss.
- Defensive lapses, including a throwing error by Nico Hoerner, allowed the Mets to score an unearned run but were insufficient to overcome the Cubs' lead.
