The streak ties for the seventh-longest in franchise history, with the club’s worst being a 17-game slide in 1962. The Mets now head into a nine-game homestand beginning Tuesday against the Minnesota Twins, a stretch that will test their resilience at home.
MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo provided historical context for the slide, noting the 11-game losing streak and the looming homestand as critical benchmarks for a club trying to reverse course this season.
Francisco Lindor, asked about manager Carlos Mendoza, defended his skipper, saying Mendoza “has done a fantastic job. This is not on him… It comes down to us. Mendy’s our guy… He’s done a tremendous job, we just haven’t executed.” Lindor’s comments reflected the broader sentiment in the Mets’ clubhouse as they navigate the prolonged downturn.
Lindor has been one of the Mets players most affected by the struggles. He finished the latest game 0-for-4 with a strikeout, and this season he is batting .205 with 18 hits, one home run, one RBI, 12 runs, and two stolen bases in 22 games.
With the nine-game homestand against the Twins on the horizon, New York will look for a turnaround to stem the tide of losses. The Mets’ challenge remains ensuring better execution on the field while supporting Mendoza’s managerial approach as they try to climb out of this extended rut.
