The New York Mets suffered their 11th consecutive loss on Sunday, falling to the Chicago Cubs after a late-game collapse. Manager Carlos Mendoza expressed the difficulty of the team's current situation, stating that they must be perfect in one-run games, which has proven challenging. Mendoza noted the team's struggles with hitting, particularly in clutch situations, as they finished just 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position. Shortstop Francisco Lindor echoed these sentiments, admitting the frustration of the losing streak and emphasizing the need for the team to execute better. He acknowledged that while the return of star player Juan Soto could provide a boost, the entire team must step up. Pitcher David Peterson also stressed that accountability lies with the players, not the coaching staff. The Mets will take a day off to regroup before starting a three-game series against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday.
