T<\/span>he New York Mets<\/strong> have hit rock bottom. Not even a 3-0 lead or a dominant outing on the mound was enough to stop the slide: a 5-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins<\/strong> makes it 12 straight defeats<\/strong>, the franchise’s worst skid in over two decades.<\/p>\n Nolan McLean<\/strong> delivered on the mound, while Francisco Lindor<\/strong> sparked hope with a three-run homer<\/strong>. But as has become the story of this nightmare stretch, the Mets bullpen<\/strong> fell apart when it mattered most.<\/p>\n With the game tied in the ninth, Devin Williams<\/strong> took the mound… and failed to record a single out. Two runs allowed, complete loss of command, and yet another blow for a team with no answers.<\/p>\n The loss stings not just because of the result, but because of the context: the team flirted with a no-hitter<\/strong> and still walked away defeated. It perfectly captures the crisis<\/strong> surrounding the Mets.<\/p>\n The stat is brutal: the Mets hadn’t lost 12 straight games since 2002<\/strong>, a season that ended without a playoff berth. Now, the shadow of that collapse is back.<\/p>\nWhat looked like a night of redemption ended in a total collapse<\/h2>\n
