The New York Mets' season has hit a rough patch, with the team now mired in a frustrating seven-game losing streak. The latest defeat came Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, a game that again highlighted the team's offensive struggles. During this skid, the Mets have managed only 10 runs while surrendering 36, a formula that makes winning nearly impossible.

In an effort to calm the fanbase, owner Steve Cohen took to social media to point out some positive signs from the tough loss. He highlighted Francisco Lindor's two hits, including a home run, a well-struck double from Bo Bichette, and a strong seven-inning outing from rookie pitcher Nolan McLean. "Hang in there, fans," Cohen urged, "we will turn this around!"

McLean has indeed been a silver lining, posting a stellar 2.28 ERA across four starts this season. However, his efforts have been undone by a struggling bullpen, a recurring theme for the club. The challenge doesn't get any easier, as the Mets now face the daunting task of breaking their slump against Dodgers' superstar Shohei Ohtani, who enters the game on a historic scoreless streak.

For Mets fans watching at home, it's a test of patience. While the standings show a team in a rut, the focus shifts to building on those "green shoots" Cohen mentioned and finding a way to support their promising young arms with some timely hitting.
