CHICAGO -- The way things are going, this was an inevitable end for the Mets. The losses have piled up, but they haven’t gotten any easier to digest. But Sunday’s at Wrigley Field may have been the most discouraging.

In the aftermath of the Mets losing their 11th straight game on Sunday, the players have defended their manager, Carlos Mendoza. After losing in extra innings to the Cubs, players took full responsibility for their 11-game winless streak, matching the club’s longest skid since Aug. 28-Sept. 8, 2004.

CHICAGO -- If there was ever a matchup to snap the Mets’ nine-game skid, this was it. Freddy Peralta, who owned more wins (nine) and struck out more batters (131) against the Cubs than any other team in his career from his time with the Brewers, made his first start

Ryan Clifford finally had enough, so he did something about it. And then he did it again. Homerless through the first three weeks of the season after going deep a career-high 29 times in 2025, the Mets' No. 4 prospect put together a breakout afternoon for Triple-A Syracuse, teeing off

It was 25 years ago that a 13th-round Draft pick out of junior college emerged out of nowhere to rip 88 extra-base hits for the Cardinals and the first position player to go from Nippon Professional Baseball to MLB cranked out 242 hits and 56 steals for the 116-win Mariners.

CHICAGO -- Frustration is growing. Brett Baty wore those feelings in the postgame interview. Manager Carlos Mendoza reiterated that his club has to execute better. The rest of the clubhouse was silent as they packed up to leave. This was not the way this Mets season was supposed to begin.

CHICAGO -- The Mets crafted a new lineup in an effort to rouse their scuffling offense, but the results were mixed after the club's ninth straight loss. Rookie outfielder Carson Benge batted leadoff and went 1-for-4 during Friday's 12-4 defeat to the Cubs at Wrigley Field. He hadn’t hit higher

Sometimes, the easiest way a rookie position player can impact the Major League club upon his first callup is by playing high-quality defense, and there’s evidence that prospects are more defensively ready in the bigs than they’ve ever been before. To wit, there have been 19 total rookies who have

LOS ANGELES -- Early in Nolan McLean's start Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, he caused Shohei Ohtani to glitch on a sweeper, making the four-time MVP contort his body backward on a pitch that clipped the strike zone. An inning later, Freddie Freeman acted similarly on an inside sinker before

LOS ANGELES -- The Mets’ offensive malaise is becoming a trend that’s threatening their season before it ever really gets going. Monday, the Mets managed just three hits -- all singles -- off Dodgers starter Justin Wrobleski and reliever Tanner Scott. They have not plated a run for 20 consecutive
