Overview

  • Cade Horton, the Cubs' top pitching prospect, earned his first MLB win with a four-inning relief outing, allowing three runs and striking out five.
  • The Cubs built an early 4-0 lead with contributions from Seiya Suzuki, Michael Busch, and a home run by Dansby Swanson.
  • Mets starter Tylor Megill continued his May struggles, surrendering four earned runs in 4⅔ innings, following a strong April performance.
  • Brett Baty powered the Mets' offense with two home runs and five RBIs but missed opportunities with runners in scoring position proved costly for New York.
  • The Cubs' bullpen, including Horton and closer Porter Hodge, held off late Mets rallies to even the series at 1-1 heading into Sunday's finale.
