NEW YORK — The Mets returned home on Monday night searching for an inflection point in their weekslong struggles, but the same issues followed them back north.
Citi Field was supposed to provide refuge as the Mets looked for an edge against the Braves following last week's series sweep. After all, the Mets entered 27-10 at home, compared to three games under .500 on the road.
But in the midst of their most torturous stretch of the 2025 season, the Mets' struggles know no bounds.
The Mets received another abbreviated start from Paul Blackburn and Juan Soto provided the only solid blow in a 3-2 loss to the Braves in front of 38,593 fans on a sizzling Monday night at Citi Field.
