The Cubs’ streak of series victories came to an end Wednesday night at Citi Field. Chicago took an early lead but the Mets pulled ahead in the middle innings and a rally in the final frame came up just short.
Christopher Morel began things on a high note, hitting David Peterson‘s first pitch of the game for a solo home run. Seiya Suzuki, back in the lineup for the first time in a few days, smoked a triple into the left-center gap in the 2nd inning and would score on a passed ball by catcher Francisco Álvarez.
