I love games like this one.
Outstanding pitching on both sides. Well-turned defensive plays. Managers trying to out-think each other and taking chances.
And, of course, a Cubs victory, 2-1 over the Mets, their third straight win.
When the Mets broke a scoreless tie off Jason Hammel in the sixth, and Matt Harvey was still dealing at 95-plus, I was considering how to write a recap that had to praise the opposing pitcher. Sometimes that happens -- your guy throws well, but the other guy is better.
