Morning Briefing: Mets Scuffling Through Three-Game Losing Streak

Good morning, Mets fans!

The Mets lost again on Saturday to the Twins, falling 8-4 despite three home runs and a decent performance from David Peterson. The bullpen has particularly struggled lately, while the offense hasn’t had enough of a late response. The Mets have lost three straight and will look to salvage the final game of the series at 2:10 p.m. ET with Tylor Megill on the mound.
