The Mets losing skid, despite Nolan McLean\u2019s best efforts, hit seven games on Tuesday night in Los Angeles. <\/p>\n

Even as things are getting dark, the Amazin\u2019s owner is trying to look on the bright side. <\/p>\n

Steve Cohen took to X about an hour after the 2-1 loss to the Dodgers<\/a> to say he saw some \u201cgreen shoots\u201d \u2014 a term usually used in the business and economic world for the first signs of improvement. <\/p>\n

The Mets (7-11) might\u2019ve produced just one run on four hits, but Cohen, who has attended the series at Dodger Stadium, saw things that make him hopeful there is a turnaround coming. And he hopes fans stay the course. <\/p>\n

\u201cOn offense, [Francisco] Lindor had two hits including a home run,\u201d Cohen wrote<\/a>. \u201c[Bo] Bichette got a double hitting it to left field as opposed to recently being right field prone. [Carson] Benge got a solid hit. [Juan] Soto started his running progression today. [Marcus] Semien hit a shot that might have been a home run on a warmer night. Finally, Nolan McLean pitched an outstanding game going 7 innings. Hang in there fans, we will turn this around!\u201d<\/p>\n

Lindor, in particular, broke through<\/a> in what has been an extended April funk. Coming into Tuesday night, the Mets shortstop had not belted a homer or driven in a run this season. He changed that in one swing against Dodgers righty Yoshinobu Yamamoto with a leadoff homer in the top of the first.<\/p>\n

That homer brought the Mets home their first run after 20 straight scoreless innings, though they still now have just one run over their last 29 frames. <\/p>\n

So far in 2026, they\u2019ve been shut out more times (five) than scored 10 or more in a game (two).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe urgency level is really high,\u201d Lindor said after the loss. \u201cI don\u2019t think no one here is desperate, but we understand we have to win. It\u2019s a must-win. We\u2019re all trying to win. It\u2019s just a matter of time. We have to get it done. Everyone understands the task is winning.\u201d<\/p>\n

McLean delivered one of the best starts of his career, striking out eight over seven one-run innings as he matched Yamamoto punch for punch. But Kyle Tucker \u2014 a free agent target of the Mets<\/a> in the offseason \u2014 blooped an RBI single off reliever Brooks Raley to help seal a Dodgers win.<\/p>\n

The Mets look to salvage a win in the final game of the series Wednesday night. <\/p>\n
