David Lennon: Awful offensive weekend sends Mets to Los Angeles off fifth straight loss
"McNeil's second-inning double was one more extra-base hit than his former club could muster - the Mets totaled four singles - but slugger Nick Kurtz supplied the lone run by golfing a 75-mph shoe-top curveball over the rightfield wall in the third."
"During this streak, they've been outscored, 30-9, and batted .205 (34-for-166). Sunday marked the third time the Mets were shut out this season - tying the White Sox, Mariners and Giants for most in the majors."
"The Mets are now two games under .500 (7-9) and just got pantsed by the A's, whose $95 million payroll is about a quarter of Steve Cohen's underachieving squad."
Jeff McNeil's return to Citi Field was marked by a strong performance, contributing to the A's 1-0 victory over the Mets. The Mets struggled offensively, managing only four singles throughout the game. Despite a solid pitching performance from Peralta and Manaea, the Mets' inability to score led to their fifth consecutive loss. They are now two games under .500 and have been significantly impacted by the absence of Juan Soto, highlighting their offensive struggles during this homestand.
