Cubs Hand Mets Their 11th Straight Loss by Rallying for a 2-1 Win in 10 Innings
Nico Hoerner’s sacrifice fly in the 10th gave Chicago its fifth straight win and dropped New York to 11 losses in a row.
- On Sunday, the Chicago Cubs rallied to a 2-1 victory over the New York Mets, with Nico Hoerner hitting a 10th-inning sacrifice fly off Craig Kimbrel to secure Chicago's fifth consecutive win.
- This 11th consecutive defeat marks the Mets' longest losing streak since Aug. 28 to Sept. 8, 2004, as the team has been outscored 62-19 and is averaging just 2.9 runs over 17 games in April.
- MJ Melendez homered in the fifth inning off Cubs pitcher Javier Assad, but Pinch-hitter Michael Conforto tied the game in the ninth with an RBI double against Mets closer Devin Williams.
- Cubs' automatic runner Pete Crow-Armstrong began the 10th on second base, moving to third on a wild pitch before Hoerner's sacrifice fly scored the winning run. Reliever Caleb Thielbar earned the win after pitching a scoreless 10th inning.
- Following an off day, the Mets will start RHP Nolan McLean against Minnesota on Tuesday, while the Cubs host Philadelphia on Monday night with RHP Colin Rea scheduled to start.
