The Mets began a three-game series against the Cubs in Chicago and saw their five-game winning streak snapped with a 7-2 defeat. Tylor Megill started and was not as sharp as his previous start against the Rays, giving up a couple home runs and also being hurt by his defense in multiple spots en route to a fourth-inning exit. Outside of a Pete Alonso home run, the offense also failed to impress, and the bats squandered the few potential rallies they did manage. The Mets will look to get back to their winning ways in the second game of the series tonight.
