As was the case last night, the Mets played a relatively lifeless game and lost to the Cubs by a 4-2 score.
Believe it or not, the Mets jumped out to a lead in the game, a rare occurrence for them to this point in the season. Francisco Álvarez beat the strong wind at Wrigley Field with a two-run home run in the top of the third to give the Mets a 2-0 lead. But they didn’t score again in the game.
Kodai Senga wasn’t sharp in his start, as he racked up a high pitch count and eventually gave up three of the Cubs’ four runs.
