Answer 1

The phrase that best fits with the tone and meaning of the rest of the sentence is:

suffered some losses

This phrase indicates a setback but does not carry an overly negative connotation like "failed catastrophically" or a colloquial tone like "took some major L’s." It suggests that the team faced challenges early on but ultimately overcame them to improve their performance by midseason.
