The New York Mets' struggles continued as they were swept by the Oakland Athletics at Citi Field, suffering a 1-0 loss in the series finale on Sunday. This defeat marks their fifth consecutive loss at home, with the team managing to score only three runs in four of those games, including two shutouts against the Athletics. Fans expressed their frustration on social media, particularly targeting Francisco Lindor, who is batting just .167/.296/.250 and has made several defensive errors. Manager Carlos Mendoza acknowledged the absence of star player Juan Soto, sidelined by a calf strain, but emphasized that the remaining players must step up. The Mets now sit at the bottom of the NL East and face tough upcoming road games against the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs before their next homestand starting April 21.
