Another night, another tough result for the Mets, but owner Steve Cohen is asking fans to keep the faith. The team's losing streak stretched to seven games Tuesday night, falling 2-1 to the Dodgers in a game that was frustratingly close.
The silver lining? A brilliant pitching performance from Nolan McLean, who went seven strong innings against one of baseball's most potent lineups. Unfortunately, the Mets' offense couldn't capitalize, mustering only one run—a leadoff home run from Francisco Lindor that also marked his first RBI of the season.
In a post on social media, Cohen pointed to several "green shoots" he saw amidst the defeat. He highlighted Lindor's two hits, a double from Bo Bichette, solid contact from Carson Benge, and a Marcus Semien line drive that might have been a homer on a warmer night. He also noted positive injury updates on Juan Soto and, of course, McLean's gem on the mound. His message was clear: "Hang in there fans, we will turn this around!"
Turning it around won't be easy, as the Mets face a monumental challenge in Wednesday's series finale: two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani, who has been untouchable on the mound so far this season. The sense of urgency in the clubhouse is palpable. "We understand we have to win, it's a must-win," Lindor stated after the game, emphasizing the collective drive to snap this skid. For Mets fans everywhere, pulling on their gear for the next game is an act of resilience, hoping the turnaround starts now.
