Pirates Defeat Mets Twice, Extend New York Losing Streak to 12 in 15 Games

News summary

The New York Mets have continued to struggle, losing 12 of their last 15 games, including a recent 9-2 defeat to the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. The game featured an extended rain delay that disrupted the Mets' momentum, with starter Paul Blackburn failing to record an out in the second inning and the bullpen surrendering six runs in the eighth. Offensively, the Mets were ineffective with runners in scoring position, going 2-for-8 and leaving nine men on base, though Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo each had two hits. The Pirates capitalized with strong performances from Ke'Bryan Hayes and Andrew McCutchen, and their pitching staff allowed only one run over 7 1/3 innings. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was ejected during the game for arguing balls and strikes. The Mets' struggles extend to their minor league affiliates, with the Syracuse Mets losing 6-1 to the Rochester Red Wings, highlighting ongoing issues with both pitching and offense at multiple levels.
