Los Angeles. The New York Mets were shut out 4-0 at Dodger Stadium on Monday night, extending their losing streak to six games and their scoreless run to 20 innings. The loss followed a sweep at Citi Field by the Oakland Athletics on Sunday and was recorded while Juan Soto is sidelined with a strained hamstring. The skid left the Mets with a roughly 7-10 record this week and prompted manager Carlos Mendoza to call the stretch early-season adversity, saying the team must 'find a way to get through it.' Pitching kept opponents to modest runs, but the offense produced minimal hits and low run support, and the team faces continued lineup scrutiny in upcoming games.
