Mets Struggle Amid Injuries, Reds Battle Too

The Mets limp into a matchup against the Reds after a brutal series, scoring just two runs and looking devoid of spark—this season feels less about playoff contention and more about young talent development. Injuries to Lindor, Alvarez, and Senga have crippled their lineup, though some are nearing returns. Meanwhile, the Reds are also struggling, especially in May, with an eight-game skid and a competitive division. Pitching matchups include McLean vs. Lodolo, Peterson vs. Burns, and a wild card with Myers/Tong vs. Abbott—who’s been lights-out despite walking too many. Can the Mets turn things around—or is this just another step in their rebuilding journey? Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
