The New York Mets finally got over the hump on Wednesday night against the Minnesota Twins after nearly two weeks without a win. In what was a strong night marking Juan Soto’s return, Francisco Lindor exited the game due to injury. While the losing streak came to an end, another setback quickly followed in New York.
“The losing streak is over. The Mets win their first game since April 7, snapping their skid after 12 games in Juan Soto's return from the injured list. The bad news for the Mets: Francisco Lindor exited the game with left calf tightness,” ESPN’s Jorge Castillo wrote.
With the Mets finally winning, attention shifted to the Philadelphia Phillies, who are also mired in a lengthy losing streak. Despite their slow start, there remains confidence in manager Rob Thomson.
“Dave Dombrowski is concerned about what is going on with the Philadelphia Phillies, but he said manager Rob Thomson is not on the hot seat despite the team's seven-game losing streak. Dombrowski, the Phillies' president of baseball operations, instead is focused on the team's overall play during an 8-15 start this season,” ESPN wrote.
