The New York Mets were unable to secure a victory in their doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs on June 24, 2026, giving up a total of 20 runs while scoring only eight. The team's poor pitching and defense contributed to the sweep. In a sign of potential changes, the Mets traded David Peterson to the Cubs in exchange for prospect Cole Mathis. Before the second game, Francisco Lindor was activated from the injured list, and Kodai Senga is set to transition to the bullpen. The presence of Norwegian World Cup fans added a unique atmosphere to Citi Field despite the Mets' losses.
