- Mets finished their nine‑game homestand 3‑6, dropping to a 10‑21 record, the worst in MLB.
- Nationals won 5‑4 on Thursday, with CJ Abrams hitting a go‑ahead two‑run homer off Luke Weaver.
- MJ Melendez has a 1.061 OPS in 33 plate appearances since his April 15 call‑up, delivering a three‑run homer that tied the game.
- Carlos Mendoza warned “not good enough” and emphasized the need to start winning series as the club slides.
- Los Angeles Angels will host the Mets in Anaheim for a three‑game series, entering the matchup on a six‑game losing streak.
Why it matters: Mets lose, dropping to a 10‑21 record, while the Nationals gain a win; the club’s poor performance threatens ticket revenue and will force roster changes before the June trade deadline.
