Overview

• New York erased a five-run hole to win 9-7 at Wrigley Field, climbing back from a 6-1 deficit.
• Francisco Alvarez delivered a two-out, two-run homer in the eighth after Brandon Nimmo’s three-run shot tied it in the fifth.
• Starter David Peterson exited after 1.1 innings with five runs allowed, but the bullpen covered 7.2 innings and Edwin Díaz notched a six-out save with five strikeouts.
• The Mets are 81-76 and up one game on the Reds, who lost; Arizona is tied with Cincinnati, and the Reds hold the tiebreaker over New York if they finish even.
• Tylor Megill underwent Tommy John surgery, and the Mets are moving Nolan MacLean up a rotation turn to position him for a potential Wild Card Game 1 start.
