Mets Break 12-Game Skid

Mark Vientos delivered a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning to secure the much-needed win at Citi Field.

However, the victory came at a high cost as shortstop Francisco Lindor was forced to exit early with left calf tightness.

The Mets' dismal start to the 2026 season had led to widespread fan frustration and bizarre rumors of a municipal 'curse.' While the streak is over, the team's medical staff remains busy managing injuries to its most critical offensive players.
