New York Mets Extend Losing Streak to 10 Games in Loss to Chicago Cubs

The New York Mets lost their 10th straight game on Saturday, dropping a 4-2 decision to the Chicago Cubs. The defeat extends the team's longest losing streak since 2004 and represents their worst April skid in franchise history. Only three teams in the divisional era, which began in 1969, have made the postseason after enduring a double-digit losing streak, including last year's Cleveland Guardians.

The Mets have scored just 18 runs during the streak, the fewest over any 10-game span for the team since June 2018. Offensive struggles continued in Saturday's game, where the team managed only a single home run.

Pitching and Key Moments Reliever

A reliever allowed a three-run home run to a Cubs pinch hitter in the sixth inning, breaking a 1-1 tie.

The Cubs held on for the win from there. The team could not capitalize on opportunities. The Mets have been unable to assemble complete games, with issues in offense, starting pitching, or relief efforts in each loss.

A third baseman provided a highlight by hitting a long home run, but the rest of the lineup remained quiet.

Team Response and Injuries Mets

manager Carlos Mendoza stated after the game that the team has not played good baseball and must write its own story moving forward.

He acknowledged fan frustration, saying they have the right to be upset.
