Mets miss out on sweep after getting outdueled by Cubs
NY Post
The Mets’ pitching exploits, and a few unlikely contributions, have fronted them to a first-place breakout in the National League East so far this season, largely covering up for one of the lowest-scoring offenses in Major League Baseball.
Kyle Hendricks and three relievers combined on a two-hitter to send the Mets to their fourth shutout loss of the season on Thursday night, this one 2-0, as the Cubs avoided a four-game sweep this week with the victory at Citi Field. Only the Pirates, with 227 runs, have plated fewer than the Mets’ 233 this season, although Luis Rojas’ injury-riddled squad also has played the fewest games in baseball.More Related News
