Mets Announce Changes After Loss to White Sox
Mets Announce Changes After Loss to White Sox originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The New York Mets' four-game winning streak came to an abrupt end on Wednesday night, as they suffered a 9-4 defeat to the Chicago White Sox at Citi Field. The loss was marked by a combination of shaky pitching and defensive miscues that allowed the White Sox to capitalize early and maintain their lead throughout the game.

Mets starter Griffin Canning, who now owns a 3.23 ERA on the season, struggled in this one, lasting only three innings and surrendering five runs—two of which were unearned—on four hits and four walks. Defensive errors by Brett Baty and Jeff McNeil further compounded the Mets' troubles, leading to extended innings and additional scoring opportunities for the White Sox.

Andrew Benintendi led the White Sox's offense with a standout performance, collecting four RBIs, including a triple and a solo home run, falling just short of hitting for the cycle. His contributions were pivotal in the White Sox's victory, which helped them avoid a series sweep.
In response to the bullpen's recent struggles, the Mets announced roster changes ahead of Friday's showdown against the Colorado Rockies. Right-handed pitcher Chris Devenski was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse, while left-handed pitcher Brandon Waddell was optioned back to Syracuse.
Devenski, a 34-year-old veteran, has had a challenging season, posting a 9.00 ERA with two strikeouts over limited innings. Waddell, 30, has a 3.86 ERA with seven strikeouts in 9.1 innings pitched.
