In a disappointing outing, the New York Mets lost 8-2 to the Los Angeles Dodgers, completing a three-game sweep. The Mets' offense struggled against Shohei Ohtani, who pitched six innings, striking out 10 and allowing just two hits. MJ Melendez, called up from the minors, shined in his debut, hitting two doubles, including a ground-rule double that ended Ohtani's scoreless streak. However, the Mets' baserunning blunders, particularly by Francisco Alvarez, cost them scoring chances. The Dodgers capitalized on this with a two-run homer from Hyeseong Kim and a grand slam from Dalton Rushing, as Devin Williams faltered in the eighth inning. The Mets have now lost eight straight games, scoring only 12 runs during this stretch. They will face the Chicago Cubs next, hoping to break their losing streak.
