The New York Mets are struggling, and manager Carlos Mendoza can't put his finger on what exactly has gone wrong in recent years.

Saturday's game was a low point, as the Mets lost 7-4 to the Milwaukee Brewers after a four-run seventh inning that was aided by some slipshod defense. And earlier in the game, Milwaukee scored two runs on an error by shortstop Francisco Lindor.

As Francisco Lindor arrived at Citi Field for the New York Mets' series opener against the Seattle Mariners on Friday, the All-Star shortstop had a sweet gameday surprise awaiting.

But that lead did not last long for the Mariners, with the Mets tying the score at 1-1 after New York star shortstop Francisco Lindor launched a solo homer in the bottom of the first inning. Lindor got ahead of Mariners starter Luis Castillo right away with three straight balls before getting a strike and fouling a pitch for a 3-2 count.

New York Mets superstar Pete Alonso surpassed a very revered team record during Tuesday's shellacking of the Braves.
