The New York Mets are struggling to replicate their early-season success, suffering a fourth consecutive defeat, a 7-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. This marks their fifth game without scoring at least five runs. The game was tied at two until Joey Ortiz’s grand slam off reliever Reed Garrett turned it around. Starting pitcher Clay Holmes was pulled after allowing two runs over 5.1 innings, leading to a backlash from fans who criticized manager Carlos Mendoza's decision-making.

Mets fans took to social media to voice their frustration, with some calling for better management and suggesting that the starters should not be pulled prematurely, especially given the bullpen's struggles. Mendoza defended his choices, citing Holmes' difficulties against loaded bases as the reason for the change.
