The Cubs finally got off to a fast start against the Mets on Saturday afternoon, scoring five runs in the opening inning. That turned out to be more than enough as Chicago got an outstanding pitching performance and cruised to a rare comfortable victory.
New York starter Tylor Megill issued a pair of walks with one out in the bottom of the 1st inning to set the stage for an RBI single by Seiya Suzuki. Ian Happ brought home a run on a groundout to second and Christopher Morel knocked in another with a hit back up the middle to put the home team ahead 3-0.
