The New York Mets' challenging start to the season continued as they remained winless after five games, including an 11-inning loss to the Detroit Tigers with a final score of 6-3, who maintained their status as baseball's only undefeated team with a 5-0 record. Mets owner Steve Cohen expressed no concern over the team's performance, emphasizing 'It's only four games into the season, right?' Despite the team's 0-5 record, Cohen remains unfazed. The Mets struggled offensively, going 13 consecutive innings without a hit across two games of a doubleheader against the Tigers. Despite the offensive drought, the Mets managed to split the doubleheader, ending the Tigers' bid for a no-hitter and their undefeated streak in the second game with a two-run ninth inning, resulting in a 2-1 victory for the Mets. Key moments included Colt Keith's first career extra-base hit, an RBI double that helped secure the Tigers' win in the first game, and Harrison Bader breaking the Mets' hitless streak with a single in the second game. The Mets' record stands at 0-5, with a losing streak of 5 and a pace of 0-162.
Tigers were MLB's last unbeaten team. They were also 6 outs away from a no-hitter. They leave NY with a doubleheader split against the Mets after a two-run 9th off Alex Faedo sends them to a 2-1 loss.

The Mets have a hit... Harrison Bader is the one who comes through with their first knock in 14 innings. An (extremely) scattered crowd here at Citi Field has actually been pretty fun today. Loud cheers, punch-drunk, good-spirited vibe. https://t.co/IvdDM7fDau

"Nobody in the ballpark. 0-5. Hitless through 7. It feels like rock bottom." - Gary Cohen on the state of the Mets. A reminder that this is game 6 of 162. The Mets still have 156 games left to play, and boy, are things getting late early in Flushing... https://t.co/zYPjye0PGX
