23 Apr
Summary
- New York Mets extended their losing streak to 12 games.

The New York Mets have reached a new low, extending their losing streak to 12 consecutive games. This historic skid is the longest the franchise has experienced since 2004, leaving fans disheartened. Despite boasting the highest payroll in Major League Baseball, estimated at $334 million, the team's performance has fallen drastically short of expectations.
The recent game saw the Mets leading but ultimately succumbing to the Minnesota Twins, with key plays and pitching struggles contributing to the defeat. Reliever Devin Williams gave up the lead in the ninth inning, and the offense failed to generate a comeback, notching no hits in the final five innings.
This losing streak has placed the Mets at a 7-16 record, tying them with the Kansas City Royals for the worst in MLB. The frustration among the fanbase is palpable, with some supporters attending games in symbolic paper bags. The team looks to Clay Holmes to start their next game, with the anticipated return of star outfielder Juan Soto offering a glimmer of hope.
