Walks Prove Costly as Mets Suffer 10th Consecutive Defeat

Freddy Peralta took the mound for the New York Mets in a 4-2 loss against the Chicago Cubs, marking the team's 10th consecutive defeat. While Peralta was effective for much of the afternoon, two sixth-inning walks with two outs proved large, ultimately costing the team a chance to win. The Mets are currently tied for the worst record in MLB at 7-14, having been outscored 60-18 during this slide. Peralta's performance was part of a duel that ended in another frustrating New York loss.
