Mets' bats fail again in sloppy loss to Reds with Citi Field boo birds out in full force
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free All was Wright for the Mets on Saturday, but that was before the game started. On the field, manager Carlos Mendoza's bunch appeared stuck in the All-Star break by falling behind in the middle innings for a second straight day while barely showing any offensive clout. Advertisement David Wright's No. 5 got retired, and the Mets too often took the same tactic with runners in scoring position — during and after Clay Holmes' rough performance — in a 5-2 loss to the Reds at Citi Field. Nobody had a worse day than Francisco Lindor, who went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts as the Mets lost their third straight. Overall, the Mets went 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position — a weakness from before the All-Star break that has continued. 5 Francisco Lindor grounded out with the bases loaded in a key spot on Saturday. JASON SZENES FOR THE NEW YORK POST 5 Juan Soto reacts after striking out in the seventh inning on Saturday. JASON SZENES FOR THE NEW YORK POST Advertisement Boos emanated throughout the ballpark in the late innings as the Mets went feebly — the minimum nine batters came to the plate. Lindor, who is hitless in his last 17 at-bats, snuffed a Mets rally in the seventh, when he was retired on a broken-bat grounder with the bases loaded. In the ninth — as the tying run at the plate — he grounded into a fielder's choice for the first out. 5 Pete Alonso strikes out in the seventh inning on Saturday. JASON SZENES FOR THE NEW YORK POST Advertisement Juan Soto just missed a game-tying homer in the inning (the ball hooked foul around the pole in right) before striking out on a full-count check swing. Pete Alonso was then retired to end it. Holmes scuffled, allowing five runs, one of which was unearned, on six hits and two walks and a hit batter over 5 1/3 innings. It was a seventh straight start in which Holmes failed to complete six innings. Mark Vientos delivered a two-out RBI single in the first to produce the game's first run. But after Jeff McNeil walked to load the bases, Ronny Mauricio was retired. Brandon Nimmo and Alonso each singled to fuel the rally. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND METS STATS Advertisement Brett Baty's homer leading off the second gave the Mets a 2-0 lead. Baty's homer was his first since July 4. He jumped on a first-pitch fastball from Fordham product Nick Martinez and blasted it to the right-field porch for his 10th homer this season. Luis Torrens' throwing error on a pickoff attempt at first base in the third inning gave the Reds their first run. Holmes allowed an RBI single to Matt McLain to tie it 2-2 before getting Elly De La Cruz to hit into an inning-ending double play. Jake Fraley doubled leading off the inning and Holmes plunked Noelvi Marte. 5 New York Mets pitcher Reed Garrett reacts as he walks back to the dugout after ending the sixth inning on July 19, 2025. JASON SZENES FOR THE NEW YORK POST Holmes waked Austin Hays to start the fourth, and Fraley's RBI single – the Reds' third hit in the inning – put the Mets in a 3-2 hole. Soto walked and stole second in the fifth and advanced to third base on a ground out before Vientos was retired for the final out. Soto's stolen base was his 12th of the season – matching a career high. Reed Garrett appeared to escape a jam created by Holmes in the sixth by getting Tyler Stephenson to hit a potential inning-ending double-play grounder to Mauricio at third. But Mauricio's throw to second was high and wide, forcing Baty out of position to throw. Hays, who walked leading off the inning, scored. The ensuing batter, Fraley, delivered an RBI double that extended the Reds' lead to 5-2. 5 Tyler Stephenson scores on an RBI double by Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley on Saturday. JASON SZENES FOR THE NEW YORK POST Advertisement McNeil, Baty and Torrens walked to load the bases in the sixth with one out, but Nimmo swung at two Scott Barlow curveballs below the strike zone before whiffing on a fastball. Lindor was then retired on a broken-bat grounder to leave the bags full. Boos emanated through the ballpark after Soto, Alonso and Vientos struck out in succession against Tony Santillan in the seventh.

Mets activate Brooks Raley in long-awaited boon to beleaguered bullpen
A Mets bullpen that entered the All-Star break taxed after plenty of shuffling received a much-needed boost when the season resumed. Brooks Raley, the lefty reliever rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, was activated from the injured list ahead of their series opener against the Reds on Friday at Citi Field. Mets relief pitcher Brooks Raley throws a pitch on April 04, 2024. JASON SZENES FOR THE NEW YORK POST Advertisement He hasn't pitched in a game in the majors since April 2024 and finished his rehab assignment with eight scoreless outings across nine innings pitched. Raley's return gives the Mets another high-leverage reliever in a year where two of their left-handed options — A.J. Minter and Danny Young — were lost to season-ending injuries early in the campaign. Advertisement Richard Lovelady was designated for assignment in a corresponding move, while Paul Blackburn was set to start a rehab assignment with the Florida Complex League Mets and José Buttó's rehab assignment was transferred to Triple-A Syracuse.

I thought I was just stressed — I had a massive brain tumor
Amanda Hyne, 37, had two young children — 18 months and 4 at the time — when her symptoms began. 'They're amazing and they are so much fun, but it's a lot,' she told The Post. 'It's a lot to juggle.' She was a clinical social worker at the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center at Mount Sinai, and — between that and the kids — she thought she might have a cold that just wasn't going away. 'End of October, it started getting a lot worse,' she said. 5 Amanda Hyne, 37, had two young children — 18 months and 4 at the time — when her symptoms began. 'The fatigue was starting to get really bad,' she said. That fall, she took a work trip to Australia with her husband — an avid surfer — when the headaches became more severe. 'I was getting to that point to take Excedrin at least one time every day in order to function, in order to kind of get out of bed,' she said. 'And it was awful — like literally almost like a labor contraction in my head or somebody taking an ice pick and just stabbing me in the head.' When she got back home, things only got worse. 'I would wake up and feel miserable,' she said. 'No amount of sleep that I got would help. I would literally work, see patients, take care of the kids at night with my husband and then try to go to bed at eight. Nothing would help. I would wake up and it was like Groundhog Day — and I would just feel miserable again.' 5 'It was awful — like literally almost like a labor contraction in my head or somebody taking an ice pick and just stabbing me in the head,' she said. 'Couldn't even go down to get myself a yogurt for lunch,' she added. 'It was that debilitating.' At the time, she chopped it up to the stress of being a mom with a full-time job. 'I was like, what choice do I have? I feel bad but the kids still need parenting and my job still needs to get done,' she said. Her PCP referred her to a neurologist in Connecticut. 'I think he took [it] really seriously, which I was really grateful for,' she said. It turned out she had a massive brain tumor. Luckily, she felt like she was in good hands. 5 Amanda 'Mandy' Hyne, 37, with her neurosurgeon, Dr. Raj Shrivastava, at her six-month follow-up appointment on July 8, 2025 at Mount Sinai in New York City, following successful surgery to remove a brain tumor. OLGA GINZBURG FOR THE NEW YORK POST 'They took it very seriously — [they told me,] 'It's a good thing you came in when you did,' but also didn't resort to scare tactics.' She was told: 'We're going to figure this out and there's a plan and here's what we're going to do.' They did the best they could to mollify the whole process. 'Just how fast everything moved, from the MRI, to the results, to the surgery appointment, to scheduling — everything was so fast and that gave me a lot of confidence that these are providers who are taking it seriously,' she said. 'But it was scary.' 5 Amanda was diagnosed as having hemangioblastoma, a benign tumor that nonetheless caused serious symptoms when it pushed her brain out of alignment. OLGA GINZBURG FOR THE NEW YORK POST Hyne wants women everywhere to know it's OK to take your pain seriously. 'I know how easy it is, I think for women in particular, to kind of get down on themselves,' she said, remembering how she would wonder if she just wasn't 'cut out to do all the things.' 'And I thought I was doing all the things well, and now maybe I can, but I feel horrible. And what's got to give at that point?' And she's doing fine now, by the way. 5 'I think he took [it] really seriously, which I was really grateful for,' she said. OLGA GINZBURG FOR THE NEW YORK POST 'I'm great and still recovering, so I still get tired sometimes but a different kind of tired than I was — like that tired was 'there's no end in sight I could sleep for five days,'' she said. '[Now] I'm tired because I'm recovering and I'm doing a lot — but when I sleep, I wake up and I feel better. 'I'm headache-free, which is It's really nice,' she added. 'I can get through the day and still be able to have time and do things that are fun.' If there's one thing she would like people to take away from her story, it's to listen to their bodies. 'It's important to do that,' she said. 'And if something doesn't feel right, ask, get checked out, figure out what's going on. Seek providers who listen to you and take you seriously.'

Mamdani visited controversial Brooklyn mosque on campaign trail — just months after the imam called for the annihilation of Israel
Socialist New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani visited a controversial Brooklyn mosque to pray while on the campaign trail — just months after the imam had called for the destruction of Israel. Mamdani posted a picture of himself speaking at the Islamic Society of Bay Ridge, alongside firebrand cleric Sheikh Muhammad Al-Barr, on his social media in January. 'It was a privilege to join Jummah prayers at the Islamic Society of Bay Ridge today,' the socialist nominee said in the post on X dated January 17. Advertisement 3 Zohran Mamdani visited a controversial Brooklyn mosque on the mayoral campaign trail. X / @ZohranKMamdani 3 Imam Muhammad Al-Barr gave a controversial sermon at his Bay Ridge mosque months before Mamdani's visit. 3 Pro-Palestine supporters rally outside of the Islamic Society of Bay Ridge in Brooklyn on February 26, 2025. NEW YORK POST Advertisement Mamdani's visit came just five months after Al-Barr called on Allah in a fiery sermon at his Bay Ridge mosque to 'liberate Palestine from the occupiers and the plunderers.' 'Oh Allah, annihilate those who occupied their lands, and those who betrayed and deserted them, and those who spilled their blood,' the cleric said in Arabic in an August service at the Islamic Society of Bay Ridge's Masjid ibn Umair. Al-Barr, whose last name is also spelled 'Elbar,' also said that 'the mujahideen [Hamas fighters] in Gaza are achieving more than our Arab armies could in 1967 and 1973,' a reference to the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War, respectively.

Professional car sitter makes sure New Yorkers' rides don't get towed in street-sweeping nightmares
Sydney Charlet's got drive. To cover her hefty Upper West Side rent, she's become the hero that Gotham didn't realize it needed: 'The Car Sitter.' Charlet, 29, a Big Apple transplant from Seattle, Washington, charges her new NYC neighbors — mostly locals around her age — up to $50 for a 90-minute car-sitting session during alternate parking hours, the designated dates and times when drivers must move their vehicles from one side of the street to the other for cleaning. 5 Sydney Charlet, a newcomer to the concrete jungle, has become the city's viral 'Car Sitter,' someone who's hired to sit in strangers' cars during weekly alternate street parking hours. OLGA GINZBURG FOR THE NEW YORK POST Residents who fail to comply with the city rules risk receiving an initial $65 fine — or ultimately getting towed. But not on Charlet's watch. Be it thunder, lightning or 102-degree heat, she's perched at her posts — and for Charlet, sitting in sedans, Teslas, SUVs and more is putting her on easy street. 'I'm inundated with clients,' Charlet said of her 'side hustle.' 5 Charlet says she's become 'inundated' with business inquiries from folks in need of her services. OLGA GINZBURG FOR THE NEW YORK POST It's a lucrative position that the accidental entrepreneur gave herself in late June — and while she didn't want to divulge her actual earnings, she told The Post she's able to cover half of her monthly Manhattan apartment rent. Charlet, who relocated to Manhattan in February after losing a marketing role on the West Coast, hatched the plan for her burgeoning biz during a recent alternate parking blitz. She sat in her own car, watching folks — or their doormen — rush to their cars before street sweepers revved down the block. 'It was absolute chaos,' she said of the calamity, recalling fights and screaming matches over parking spots. On June 19, she posted a viral video featuring black-and-white flyers reading, 'Need your car moved? The Car Sitter,' along with her professional contact info. Since then, the brunette, who's currently otherwise unemployed, has received more than 500 inquiries for the service, she said. 'The video blew up online,' she said of the promo clip, which has garnered nearly 600,000 TikTok views to date. 'I basically had to build the brand in a day.' That brand is her effort toward diffusing driver-on-driver drama. It's also aimed at aiding motorists who simply can't move their rides and have grown accustomed to sucking up the $65 penalty in defeat. Charlet said she is still sifting through the massive number of requests but has been able to provide her new trade to about 20 people in the short time since posting the video. She also shared a rave from a client who wrote her, saying, 'Thank you!! I appreciate your service!! So much better than a ticket.' 'A lot of people in the city will just take the ticket and not move their car because they don't have the time,' said Charlet. 'I figured, why not offer to sit in their cars for less than the cost of the initial fine?' 5 The millennial was inspired to launch her car-sitting side hustle after witnessing the alternate street parking 'chaos' on her Upper West Side street. OLGA GINZBURG FOR THE NEW YORK POST Before settling into the driver's seat, she offers patrons a written document outlining her responsibilities as an everyday gal fulfilling a typical task for complete strangers. 'It's a one-time agreement that protects me and them,' said Charlet, who's insured and a self-professed 'good' parallel parker. 'They sign and return the document, send a deposit, which is about half of the total cost, then we coordinate a key pickup.' 5 After inking an agreement, Charlet and her customers arrange a key pickup before she hits the streets for duty. OLGA GINZBURG FOR THE NEW YORK POST After the administrative must-dos are done, the UWS newbie hoofs it to the client's automobile about 15 minutes before parking rules take effect. 'Before I get in the car, I send the owner a video [of its exterior] to document any preexisting damage,' said Charlet. 'I send the video to the client via email, sit in the car for an hour and a half — I don't move the car until the street sweeper comes by — then I return the keys. And that's it. 'I'm really babysitting the car.' 5 Charlet tells The Post she hopes to one day expand her side hustle into a major business that routinely services all five boroughs and beyond. OLGA GINZBURG FOR THE NEW YORK POST Charlet is among the rising number of go-getters transforming their side hustles into a main source of income. From walking dogs to babysitting tots to hawking designer diaper bags, taking on a second gig has become a necessary evil across the inflation-rocked U.S. — especially in the concrete jungle, where an annual salary of $100,000 is basically peanuts, per recent reports. Nationwide, a staggering 51% of Americans have picked up a side hustle over the past year, according to new data via MarketWatch. Researchers found that the most common reasons folks are taking on additional work are to build savings (27%) and keep up with the cost of living (24%). Now, entrepreneurial Charlet is just grateful that oft-mistrusting Manhattanites are entrusting her with their four-wheeled babies. 'I have been asked, 'Well, how do I know you're not going to steal my car?' — and that's such a fair question,' Charlet said with a laugh. 'But the people who've seen my TikTok and reached out to me for service seem to feel like they can relate to me,' she said. 'They're around my age, they get to see some of my fashion and lifestyle content,' she explained. 'They see I'm a normal, stylish woman — like I'm someone they could be friends with in real life. 'People want to hire someone they trust,' Charlet added, 'and I'm happy New Yorkers trust me.'
