There has been nothing Amazin’ about the New York Mets‘ start to the 2026 MLB season.
Not only are the Mets in last place in the National League East, but they’ve lost nine consecutive games and have fallen to 7-13 (35.0% winning percentage) on the year. That’s tied for the worst record in the sport.
Here’s New York’s nine-game losing streak (April 8-17) by the numbers:
0: The Mets have been shut out in three of the nine games during this losing streak.
045: First baseman Mark Vientos is batting just .045 since New York’s last win (1-for-22).
1: Over the past seven days, they’ve hit one home run.
2: New York has lost two games with its opponents scoring no more than two runs.
5A: The first five losses in the skid came at home.
5B: Those initial five losses came against two teams that missed the playoffs last season: the Arizona Diamondbacks and Athletics.
6A: The Mets haven’t led at any point in six of the nine losses.
6B: Luke Weaver, whom the Mets signed to a two-year, $22 million deal in the offseason, has given up six runs over his past two appearances (1 ⅔ innings).
6.2: Opponents have scored a combined 56 runs against the Mets over this span (6.2 runs per game).
7: The Mets have scored a combined seven runs and drawn just six walks over their past five games, with both totals the worst mark in MLB over the past seven days.
13: Right-hander Kodai Senga has been unable to escape the fourth inning in each of his past two starts, surrendering a combined 13 earned runs, 19 baserunners (14 hits and five walks) and four home runs across 5 ⅔ innings.
16: New York has scored just 16 runs during this losing streak.
22: The Mets’ nine-game losing streak is their worst run in 22 years, with New York losing 11 consecutive games in 2004; they finished 71-91 and were managed by Art Howe in 2004.
167: Luis Robert is hitting .167.
810: Left-hander David Peterson owns a combined 8.10 ERA over his past two starts and, stretching beyond the Mets’ nine-game losing streak, has given up at least four runs in each of his past three starts.
