The New York Mets experienced some challenges in May after an impressive start to the season, culminating in a disappointing 9-4 loss against the Chicago White Sox. Despite topping the interleague series, the Mets' ongoing issues with runners in scoring position persisted, as they went 2-for-12 in this game. Manager Carlos Mendoza acknowledged these problems, noting the team's need for improvement despite their solid overall record. Currently at 34-22, the Mets remain a strong playoff contender if they can refine their clutch hitting.
We gotta get better with runners in scoring position. We are all aware. Yes, the underlying numbers (are encouraging), but at the end of the day, we gotta get the job done, right? I thought yesterday we took some better at-bats, today not so much.
The Mets went just 2-for-12 in those situations in this game, which was not good enough to keep pace with a hot White Sox offense that took advantage of its chances throughout the afternoon.
