The frustrated Mets mustered little on offense again Tuesday night in a loss to the Chicago Cubs.
Instead, the bottom feeders have been nothing but trouble.
Ian Happ homered deep into the second deck on a 99 mph fastball from deGrom , and No. 9 batter David Bote added his second home run of the season for the Cubs , who won the series opener 5-2 on Monday. Pete Alonso barely missed a two-run homer in the first when it hooked just foul, and the slugger slammed down his bat after drawing a walk.
Said Alonso:"I wasn't upset that he didn't throw the ball in the zone, I was upset that the wind blew it foul. ... It's just two guys that are in the heat of the moment, just competing. He's obviously a highly competitive individual and so am I. There's no bad blood or anything like that."
