The Cubs’ series against the Mets got up to a very rough start as the home team took home a lopsided victory on a rain-soaked evening in Queens. Chicago got a bad starting pitching effort and got buried by a star performance from slugger Pete Alonso.
Drew Smyly continued to struggle mightily on Monday night, giving up a three-run homer to Alonso in the bottom of the 1st inning. A Cody Bellinger RBI single off of Kodai Senga got the Cubs on the board in the top of the 3rd.
