Meet the Mets<\/p>\n
The Mets won a thriller against the Cubs 9-7. David Peterson gave up five runs in just 1.1 innings, a devastating blow for an already beleaguered pitching staff. Huascar Brazob\u00e0n gave up a run in 2.2 innings, and Gregory Soto allowed a run in o.2 innings. But the rest of the relievers used (Ryne Stanek, Tyler Rogers, Brooks Raley, and Edwin D\u00edaz) held the Cubs scoreless across 4.1 innings, with D\u00edaz recording a six out save. Francisco Lindor drove in three runs, including a solo home run to lead off the game, Brandon Nimmo hit a three-run home run to tie the game in the fifth inning, and Pete Alonso drove in a run as well. But the game winning run was scored on a mammoth two-run home run from Francisco Alvarez in the top of the eight, and the Mets held on to win and vault themselves back into a playoff spot.<\/p>\n
