In the grand scheme of this season, or in Cubs history, Sunday’s 3-2 win over the Mets doesn’t mean much.
But that doesn’t mean the end of a nine-game losing streak didn’t feel good. Nico Hoerner’s eighth-inning single drove in Willson Contreras — with a great slide — with the lead run, and David Robertson posted his 13th save. Two of those players might not be Cubs very much longer, so enjoy them while you can.
Let’s rewind to the beginning of this satisfying victory.
The Mets scored in the first inning on a mental blunder by Frank Schwindel.
