Pete Alonso launched yet another homer against the Cubs, and Jeff McNeil hit a tiebreaking shot that sent the Mets to victory Wednesday night.
— As the Chicago Cubs chase a playoff spot down the stretch, they'll be glad not to see Pete Alonso anymore.
"He's got a good fastball, kept it up in the zone, did a good job there," Happ said."It was just a good, competitive game." Christopher Morel and Seiya Suzuki homered for Chicago, bunched with several teams fighting tooth-and-nail for the league's final wild card. Alonso tied it in the fourth with a long two-run homer off starter Kyle Hendricks. The slugger had four home runs and 10 RBIs in the series, giving him 15 homers and 34 RBIs in 27 career games against the Cubs.
