Mets End Losing Streak with Walk-off Win Over Rangers

NEW YORK, NY — The New York Mets snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 5-2 win over the Texas Rangers on Sunday, September 14, 2025. The victory came after a frustrating stretch for the team, which had fallen to new lows in the standings.

Pitcher Nolan McLean did not factor into the decision but delivered an impressive performance, allowing five hits and two walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings. McLean has now given up two or fewer runs in each of his first six MLB outings, maintaining a strong 1.19 ERA with a 40:12 strikeout-to-walk ratio through 37.2 innings.

The game featured a dramatic walk-off home run from first baseman Pete Alonso in the tenth inning, reigniting hope among the loyal Mets fans at Citi Field. Following the game, fans filled the concourses with chants of “Let’s Go Mets” and “Pete A-Lon-So.”

Despite their recent struggles, the fans remain committed to the team. The Mets, who invested $340 million in their roster, found new energy in this much-needed win against a competitive Rangers team.

The Mets are looking forward to a home matchup against the Washington Nationals next weekend in hopes of building on this positive momentum.
