Jorge Castillo of ESPN wrote: “Pitching to Nico Hoerner there was an interesting decision, but the Mets’ 11-game losing streak comes down to the offense. They’ve scored 2 or fewer runs in 9 of the losses. Not having Juan Soto hurts, but it shouldn’t hurt this much for the second-most expensive roster in MLB.”
