Brian Joura Mets360: "The Mets took a 1-0 lead into the bottom of the ninth but gave up a run in that inning and again in the 10th to come out on the wrong end of a 2-1 game. The Cubs swept the Mets and sent them to their 11th-straight loss."
Mike Puma NY Post: "Devin Williams wore the goat horns, blowing the save in the ninth before Nico Hoerner’s sacrifice fly against Craig Kimbrel in the 10th extended the Mets losing streak to 11 games with a 2-1 loss to the Cubs at Wrigley Field."
Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: "Everything was working for the Mets until the bottom of the ninth, when Michael Conforto pinch-hit an RBI double off closer Devin Williams to tie the game at 1-1. Another former first-round pick of the Mets, Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong scored the winning run in the bottom of the 10th, helping the Cubs walk off with the 2-1 win."
Jackson Stone Mets.com: "Mets pitchers entered the finale with a 6.25 ERA during the skid, and despite Sunday serving as one of the best pitched games of the season, New York managed just a single run on MJ Melendez’s fifth-inning solo blast. It’s the ninth time in the past 11 games New York has failed to score more than two runs."
Jon Heyman NY Post: " It’s getting late early for these defeat-a-day Mets. The shocking 11th straight loss for baseball’s second-highest-paid team moved them close to something akin to a final stage of grief. There are still 140 games to go. But yep, it’s already defend-the-manager time."
FoxSports.com: Mets' 11-Game Losing Streak by the numbers. Here are some of the most telling: "0: The Mets have been shut out in three of the nine games during this losing streak. 1: Over the past nine days, they've hit three home runs. 2: New York has lost three games with its opponents scoring no more than two runs."

CBS Sports Headlines
Born April 20:
- Masato Yoshii (1965)
- Jason Roach (1976)
- Sean Green (1979)
Died on this date:
- Tom Robson (2021)
1967 | Tom Seaver, a right-hander the Mets obtained in a lottery drawing that included the Braves, Phillies, and Indians, gets his first major-league win when the team beat the Cubs, 6-1. The 22 year-old rookie, who will become known as the 'Franchise,' goes 7.2 innings, giving up eight hits and one run in the Shea Stadium contest. |
1997 | In the second game of a doubleheader, the Cubs stop their season-opening losing skid at 14 games, beating the Mets, 4-3. By losing the opener, Chicago set a National League record (0-14) for the most consecutive losses to start a season and has the second-worst record behind the Orioles, who lost 21 decisions before winning a game in 1988. |
2006 | At Petco Park in his first at-bat of the season, Kaz Matsui hits an inside-the-park round-tripper, making it the third successive season in which the Mets second baseman has hit a home run in his initial plate appearance of the year. Ken Griffey Jr. also accomplished the feat starting in 1997 with the Mariners but had walked before going deep. |
2006 | Appearing as a pinch hitter at Petco Park, Julio Franco becomes the oldest major leaguer to hit a home run. The 47 years, 240 days old's eighth-inning blast, which put the Mets ahead in their 7-2 victory over the Padres, surpasses Jack Quinn, who accomplished the feat as a pitcher for the Philadelphia A's at the age of 46 years, 357 days. |
2020 - Show business newspaper Variety reports that former player Alex Rodriguez and his fiancé, show biz star Jennifer Lopez, have approached JP Morgan Chase to raise capital to make a bid to purchase the New York Mets. Owner Fred Wilpon and his son Jeff are known to want to sell the team, after an attempt to line up a sale with a hedge fund billionaire fell through last December.
