Mets nightmare continues, drop 11th-straight in 2-1 loss to Cubs in extras | amNewYork
"Michael Conforto, a former Mets star, lined a pinch-hit game-tying double down the right-field line in the bottom of the ninth off closer Devin Williams to force extra innings."
"Nico Hoerner won it in the bottom of the 10th with a sacrifice fly off Craig Kimbrel to score former Mets top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong."
"The one run continues the offense's stunning lack of production without Juan Soto, as New York has scored two or fewer runs in nine of its last 11 games."
"In an effort to shake up the rotation, manager Carlos Mendoza opened the game with the right-handed reliever Tobias Myers and demoted starter David Peterson to a piggyback role."
The Mets faced the Cubs and extended their losing streak to 11 games. Michael Conforto tied the game with a pinch-hit double in the ninth inning. Nico Hoerner secured the win for the Cubs with a sacrifice fly in the tenth. The Mets' offense struggled, scoring only one run from MJ Melendez's home run. Manager Carlos Mendoza altered the rotation, using Tobias Myers as an opener and demoting David Peterson. The pitching staff managed to keep the game close, but the Mets' lack of scoring proved detrimental.
