Mets' Woes Deepen in LA: Ohtani and Dodgers Pile On
16 Apr
Summary
- Mets lost their eighth consecutive game, falling deeper into an early-season slump.
- The team was outscored 14-3 over three games at Dodger Stadium.
- Shohei Ohtani played a key role in the Dodgers' victory over the Mets.

The New York Mets continued their difficult start to the season, suffering their eighth consecutive loss on Wednesday with an 8-2 defeat against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. This series saw the Mets outscored by the Dodgers 14-3 over three games, highlighting their offensive struggles. Shohei Ohtani was instrumental in the Dodgers' victory, escaping a crucial jam in the fifth inning by striking out Tommy Pham and retiring Francisco Lindor. An insurance home run from Teoscar Hernández in the following inning sealed the Mets' fate.
The Mets' current losing streak is one of their longest this century. The team showed moments of promise, with MJ Melendez hitting a ground-rule double that put tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position in the fifth inning. However, they were unable to capitalize on the opportunity. The Mets now travel to Chicago to face the Cubs, who have been performing well recently, while the Mets have scored only eight runs over their last six games combined.
