Mets' losing streak could already be sinking their season

The New York Mets face a critical turning point in their season as a devastating nine-game losing streak threatens their playoff aspirations. Friday's decisive defeat against the Chicago Cubs exposed significant vulnerabilities in their pitching rotation, with starter Kodai Senga delivering a subpar performance that allowed the opposition to dominate offensively. This consecutive loss pattern raises serious concerns about the team's ability to recover and maintain competitiveness in the competitive National League standings.
