Mets’ dreadful play continues with ugly loss to lowly A’s as skid hits four
NY Post
The road trip from hell has ended, but the Mets brought their hellish skid home with them.
Carlos Mendoza’s crew had built-in excuses over a 10-games-in-10-days, four-city voyage that ended with three smackdowns in Seattle.
They had no such alibi on Tuesday when they began an important, nine-game homestand with the kind of faceplant that Pete Alonso experienced in the sixth inning.
A 9-4, series-opening loss to the AL West-worst A’s in front of 31,923 at Citi Field meant the Mets have been outscored 31-5 over this four-game losing streak in which their hitting has not done enough and their pitching has been destroyed.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
