After Saturday's heartbreaking 3-2 loss to the Rangers, the New York Mets have now dropped eight straight games — their worst stretch since 2018. Rookie Brandon Sproat threw six strong, scoreless innings in his Citi Field debut, and Juan Soto smashed his 40th home run of the season, but the bullpen faltered late. Edwin Díaz couldn't close it out, giving up the go-ahead hit in the 9th to Wyatt Langford. With the loss, the Mets' lead in the NL wild-card race has evaporated: they now trail the Giants in the loss column and no longer control their postseason destiny. We break down what went wrong, look at the standings and scenarios, and assess what's left for this roster with the regular season winding down.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
