On a day for noteworthy home runs, Javier Baez made the 100th of his career one to savor, rallying the Chicago Cubs to a 5-3 victory on Sunday over the visiting New York Mets.
Baez’s three-run shot in the eighth inning off Mets right-hander Seth Lugo helped prevent Chicago’s first three-game losing streak at home this season. It was just the second home run for the Cubs in a four-game series against the Mets, while New York hit nine. Trailing 3-2 in the eighth inning, Kyle Schwarber led off for the Cubs with a single. Anthony Rizzo earned a one-out walk to bring Baez to the plate. The right-handed hitter lifted an 0-2 slider from Lugo the opposite way into the seats in right field for his 19th of the season.
Alonso, whose homer made it 1-1 in the fourth, is now one home run short of the major league rookie record before July 1 set by the Oakland Athletics’ Mark McGwire in 1987. The Mets have seven more games until the end of June, four at Philadelphia and three at home against the Atlanta Braves.
