Brewers slam their way past the struggling Mets, 7-2

The New York Mets faced a critical doubleheader against the Milwaukee Brewers after a disheartening weekend in Pittsburgh. The Mets quickly fell behind when Sal Frelick hit a leadoff homer off Clay Holmes. Although Holmes pitched effectively into the sixth, the Mets could not hold onto a brief lead and ultimately lost 7-2, marking their fourth consecutive defeat. Reed Garrett struggled post-Holmes, allowing a grand slam to Joey Ortiz, further deepening the Mets' woes.

Holmes's performance was decent, but questions arose about his early exit despite being charged with only two earned runs. Garrett, who had been a strong performer last season, now sports an abysmal 15.00 ERA over recent outings, indicating a significant decline in form. The Mets' lineup, once seen as a strength, has struggled collectively, mustering just two hits against Freddy Peralta in Game 1.

How should the Mets adjust their bullpen strategy following these losses?What can the Mets do to revitalize their struggling offense?How can the Mets improve their pitching effectiveness moving forward?What role should player development play in the Mets' future strategy?
