Juan Soto homers in the ninth to avoid a no-hitter, but the Mets' struggles continue with a ninth loss as they prepare to face the Brewers.

Cleveland Guardians pitcher Gavin Williams no-hit the Mets through 8.1 innings until Juan Soto launched a solo home run in the ninth to get on the board. It didn't make a difference in the outcome, though, as Cleveland won 4-1. New York is now 1-8 in the last nine games.

Juan Soto was the sole reason the Mets didn’t get no-hit in Wednesday’s 4-1 loss to the Guardians, but Boomer Esiason has no sympathy for the superstar outfielder.

The New York Mets' offense has not produced recently, and Juan Soto's slump has plenty to do with that. Carlos Mendoza revealed what he thinks about it.

The $765 million slugger at least spared the Mets the embarrassment and ignominy of having a no-hitter thrown against them, however, with a solo home run with one out in the ninth inning of a series-sweeping 4-1 loss to Gavin Williams and the Guardians.

Carlos Mendoza, manager of the New York Mets, dropped a bombshell on Sal Licata's WFAN show. He revealed that the hitting coaches have been working with Juan Soto

Juan Soto’s demeanor during the Mets’ slump is drawing harsh criticism from New York sports radio, reigniting debates about leadership.

That's the second sweep the Mets have suffered in their last three. They've now lost eight of their last nine games, a brutal stretch that now has them three back in the loss column of the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East.
