New York Mets off to worst start in 43 years as losing streak extends to 10 games

Saturday’s largely-quiet matchup was tied 1-1 heading into the sixth inning. After two Cubs batters were walked, Carson Kelly slammed a 405′ three-run home run to go up 4-1.

The Mets scored a run later on, but failed to make any further progress and suffered a 4-2 loss.

This historic losing streak is a continuation of the shocking collapse the Mets saw on the back end of last season. After a 45-24 start last year, they’re just 45-69 since.

When asked about his message to Mets fans, manager Carlos Mendoza was honest.

“They have all the right to be pissed and frustrated. They care. Just like we do… I understand how they’re feeling. I’d be pissed too if I’m a fan. I’m pissed. They’re pissed.”

After narrowly missing the postseason last year, pressure is beginning to mount for the Mets to figure it out.
