The New York Mets are sticking by closer Edwin Díaz despite some struggles in 2024.
Díaz blew his fourth save opportunity of the season on Saturday against the San Francisco Giants, with the Mets falling 7-2 despite leading 2-1 in the ninth inning. Despite this, it does not appear that Díaz will lose his role in the bullpen again.
"He's our closer," Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said, per Jorge Castillo of ESPN. "In order for us to win games and get to where we want to get to, he's got to pitch. And I felt like that was the right spot.
