NY Post: Reed Garrett’s eighth-inning implosion against Giants continues Mets’ nosedive.  "The Mets were four outs away from cruising to a streak-snapping victory before the typically reliable Reed Garrett let up a stunning eighth-inning grand slam." 

NY Post: Mets had their hearts broken on the most unbelievable play by Matt Chapman. "Mets up-and-comer Mark Vientos chopped one down the third base line, and Chapman made a barehanded play on the ball, tossing Vientos out at first on a low throw that was scooped out, stopping a tying run from scoring on a breathtaking final play."

Brian Joura Mets360: "In their last nine games, Mets pitchers have allowed 60 R in 78.1 innings. That’s just brutal."

NY Post: Mets’ Brandon Nimmo gets drilled in head, stays in and steals base after scary moment

NY Post: Steve Cohen can’t comprehend ‘disheartening’ Mets loss in social media rant: ‘Mind boggling’. "'What a stretch, mind boggling. I know how disheartening this is for our fans. Ty for caring so much,' Cohen wrote on X after the Mets’ latest defeat."
