The Cubs and Mets played almost five hours of baseball Saturday evening, but it was well worth as the Cubs secured a 14-inning victory and a series win ahead of the Sunday morning finale. Mike Montgomery and Luke Farrell were the stars for the Cubs on the mound, with the latter keeping the Cubs alive long enough for the offense to explode on a night where the Cubs entered with a few bullpen arms unavailable. Albert Almora Jr, Ben Zobrist, and Javy Baez each drove in two runs in the 14th to give the Cubs an opportunity for a four-game sweep of the Mets with Jon Lester taking the ball on Sunday.
