Mets Fade Fast as Skid Reaches 11 Games

The New York Mets opened 2026 in a tailspin, sitting 7-15 for an 11-game losing streak and dead last in the NL, as injuries and underperforming newcomers erode the lineup despite a offseason roster overhaul. Bullpen misplays and late-game collapses have compounded a stagnant offense led by slow starts from Francisco Lindor and injuries to Juan Soto, with veterans and new pieces alike failing to jump-start production. The team heads into a challenging homestand against the Twins, Rockies, and Nationals as fans hope for a turnaround.
