Mets the latest victim of Sunday’s walk-off party with Marlins’ grand-slam stunner

The New York Mets faced a disappointing defeat against the Miami Marlins, culminating in a walk-off grand slam by Heriberto Hernandez in the bottom of the ninth inning, which completed a sweep of the Mets. This loss marks a significant setback for the Mets, who were already struggling in the standings.

The defeat is particularly critical as it highlights the Mets' ongoing issues, including the recent absence of key player Juan Soto due to illness, which has compounded their challenges on the field.

This loss adds to the Mets' woes, as they have now dropped five of their last six games, raising concerns about their performance and positioning in the NL East. Manager Carlos Mendoza has expressed alarm over the team's struggles, indicating a need for urgent improvements to reverse their current trajectory.
