Overview
- The Mets, who lost 2-1 in 10 innings Sunday in Chicago, saw Michael Conforto tie it in the ninth off Devin Williams before Nico Hoerner’s sacrifice fly ended it after a Craig Kimbrel wild pitch moved the runner to third.
- New York has been outscored 62-19 during the 11-game skid and has scored two or fewer runs in nine of the last 11 games.
- Manager Carlos Mendoza used Tobias Myers as an opener with David Peterson in bulk relief, and MJ Melendez supplied the only run with a solo homer.
- The slide is the club’s first 11-game losing streak since 2004 and pairs with a 7-15 record that marks the franchise’s worst start since 1983, including three straight series sweeps.
- Team president David Stearns has publicly backed Mendoza as the Mets head into Monday’s off day and a nine-game homestand, with reports suggesting Juan Soto could return next week.
