Mets end 12-game losing streak

Mark Vientos delivered a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning to secure the much-needed win for the struggling franchise.

The Mets' recent slide was their longest since 2002 and had led to widespread fan frustration and talk of a 'curse.' While Soto's return provided an offensive spark, Lindor's immediate exit with left calf tightness has raised new concerns about the team's durability.

The victory offers a brief reprieve for manager Carlos Mendoza as the team looks to salvage a disappointing start to the 2026 season.
