The Chicago Cubs defeated the New York Mets 2-1 in 10 innings at Wrigley Field, securing a three-game sweep and extending their winning streak to five. Pete Crow-Armstrong scored the winning run on Nico Hoerner's sacrifice fly after a wild pitch advanced him to third. The loss extended the Mets' skid to 11 games, their longest since 2004.
Chicago's pitchers dominated on a windy afternoon at Wrigley Field, holding the Mets to one run despite the Cubs managing just one hit with runners in scoring position through eight innings. Starter Javier Assad delivered 5 2/3 solid innings after being called up from Triple-A Iowa. Relievers Jacob Webb, Riley Martin, and Corbin Martin kept New York off the board late, setting up the dramatic finish. Cubs manager Craig Counsell said, “The story of the game was pitching. We pitched extremely well. I’m proud of those guys.”
