The Cubs dropped two of the three games against the Mets this weekend, giving them back-to-back series losses for the first time this season. They also went 1-2 against the Giants last week at Wrigley Field.

After a pitching change, Brandon Nimmo launched a two-run homer, capping off a four-run eighth inning. Vientos, Nimmo, and Lindor all had two hits on the day -- Francisco Alvarez also had two singles of his own after entering the game in place of Torrens.

Francisco Lindor led off the eighth inning with a tie-breaking home run to spark a four-run outburst and give the New York Mets a 6-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs in the deciding game of a three-game series between National League division leaders.
