Having lost six of their last eight games, the New York Mets desperately needed to stop the bleeding. With the Washington Nationals playing their best baseball of the season, the club is now looking up at three teams in the National League East.
Entering Friday just 15-26 on the road, the team was able to secure a much-needed win over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.
In typical Mets style, it was far from easy.
The team got on the board first with J.D. Davis scoring on Dominic Smith‘s GIDP in the second inning.
