In a disappointing turn of events for the New York Mets, they suffered their 10th consecutive loss, falling 4-2 to the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. The Cubs, who have now won four straight games, were propelled by a crucial three-run homer from pinch-hitter Carson Kelly in the sixth inning. This marked the Mets' longest losing streak since they dropped 11 games in a row from August 28 to September 8 in 2004. The Mets have been outscored 60-18 during this slump. The game was tied at 1 when Mets pitcher Freddy Peralta issued two walks before being replaced by Brooks Raley, who allowed Kelly's homer on the first pitch he threw. Ian Happ also homered for the Cubs, while Mark Vientos hit a solo shot for the Mets. Despite an unearned run in the eighth inning due to a throwing error by Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner, the Mets were unable to capitalize, and Caleb Thielbar secured his first save of the season.
