New York Mets Extend Losing Streak to Seven with Walk-Off Loss to Brewers

The New York Mets experienced a seventh consecutive loss as they blew a 5-0 lead and fell 7-6 to the Milwaukee Brewers, continuing a troubling slump marked by inconsistent pitching and bullpen struggles. Despite an early offensive outburst featuring home runs from Brett Baty and Cedric Mullins and timely hits from Juan Soto and Jeff McNeil, the Mets' starting pitcher Sean Manaea failed to provide sufficient innings, lasting only four innings while allowing four runs. The bullpen, heavily taxed due to short starting pitcher outings, faltered late; Ryan Helsley gave up the game-tying run in the eighth inning, and closer Edwin Díaz surrendered a walk-off home run to Isaac Collins in the ninth. This loss extended the Mets' streak to 11 defeats in 12 games and highlighted ongoing issues in maintaining leads and pitching depth. Meanwhile, the Syracuse Mets, a minor league affiliate, also struggled offensively in a 5-1 loss to the Charlotte Knights, though they remain atop their division standings. Overall, the Mets organization faces significant challenges on both major and minor league levels.
