The Mets faced a disappointing finale against the Chicago White Sox, losing 9-4 after Griffin Canning struggled on the mound, allowing five runs in three innings. Despite a brief spark from Mark Vientos’ three-run homer, the team’s offensive woes continued, hitting just 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position, worsening their league-worst .212 average in that category. Manager Carlos Mendoza remains optimistic about their hitting potential, but acknowledges the need for improvement as the Mets hold a solid 34-22 record, sitting second in the NL East.
