Mets Fire Mendoza, Green Steps In

The Mets’ seven-game losing streak hit a breaking point as they fired manager Carlos Mendoza, handing the reins to bench coach Andy Green — who lost his debut. Despite the slump, young pitcher Zach Thornton held his own against Phillies ace Zack Wheeler, striking out seven and allowing just one run over six innings. A dazzling catch by Derek Hill robbed Juan Soto of a potential two-run homer, adding a spark to an otherwise tough night. Green now seeks his first win as interim skipper, with Christian Scott set to start against rookie phenom Alan Rangel — a matchup that could signal the beginning of a turnaround for a team desperate for momentum.
