The New York Mets’ season took a dramatic turn for the worse as they suffered a crushing 7-1 defeat to the Atlanta Braves on Thursday night, marking their sixth consecutive loss. Played at Truist Park, this setback has tied the Mets with the Philadelphia Phillies for first place in the NL East, igniting a firestorm of concern among fans. As of 10:10 AM +07 on Friday, June 20, 2025, the Mets’ struggles are the talk of the baseball world, with social media buzzing about their faltering form.
The game showcased the Braves’ dominance, with Atlanta capitalizing on Mets’ pitching woes. Clay Holmes, a key reliever, walked a career-high six batters, including two with the bases loaded, while Huascar Brazoban added to the chaos with his own walks.

Manager Carlos Mendoza faced tough questions post-game, reflecting on the team’s slide. “It’s a brutal stretch,” Mendoza admitted, highlighting the mounting pressure. The loss follows a series sweep, amplifying the urgency as the Mets prepare to face the Phillies next. Injuries and inconsistent performances have thrown their pitching staff into disarray, with fans anxiously awaiting a turnaround.
