Good morning, Mets fans!
The New York Mets had another disappointing game in June as they concluded a four-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Despite Max Scherzer delivering a solid performance on the mound, the Mets’ offense struggled once more to capitalize on scoring opportunities, failing to secure a crucial hit with the bases loaded twice in the final three innings. As a result, they suffered a 3-2 defeat. For more on this game, check out our recap.
They’re now nine games under .500 at 36-45 halfway through the year. They’re on pace for 90 losses.
