The last time the New York Mets hit a home run was courtesy of Brett Baty in their 4-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on May 14. That fact alone underscores just how stagnant the Mets’ offense has been lately—evident again in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox.
This marks the first time this season the Mets have lost three consecutive games. After dropping the Subway Series finale to the Yankees on Sunday, they’ve now lost back-to-back games to Boston in this current series. The Mets’ struggles at the plate are beginning to raise eyebrows—and blood pressure—across the fan base.

Mental and physical errors have only compounded the Mets’ woes. Pete Alonso has made uncharacteristic mistakes, and questions are even being raised about Juan Soto’s motivation. The team appears to be in a rut—both figuratively and mentally.
Clay Holmes delivered a strong outing at Fenway Park, allowing just two runs over six innings. Unfortunately, the offense once again failed to provide any run support.
With this loss, the Mets are now 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position during the series, according to SNY reporter Gary Apple. Their season batting average with runners in scoring position is a dismal .214. The Mets managed just four hits in Tuesday's game—further evidence of the mounting pressure and poor execution.
In a postgame interview with SNY, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza addressed the team’s recent slump:
“Overall, we’re going through it—no doubt about it. We’re having a hard time putting guys on consistently. When we do get those guys on, we’re having a hard time getting them in. Overall, I feel like offensively, we’re going through it right now.”
Many analysts and fans are now calling for Mendoza to make adjustments, possibly to “shake up” the batting order and spark the lineup.
Whatever the solution to this slump may be, the Mets coaching staff must find it quickly. They play in a talent-packed National League East, where the Philadelphia Phillies have overtaken the Mets for first place, and the Atlanta Braves are close behind with a surging roster.
All the Mets can do now is regroup, focus, and turn the page as they look ahead to Wednesday's game
