With Carlos Carrasco pitching respectably into the seventh inning, the Mets rolled to a 10-1 victory at Wrigley Field and snapped their two-game skid.
CHICAGO — The Carlos Carrasco who buoyed the Mets’ rotation for much of last season showed up just in time to help prevent an embarrassment on Thursday.
Carrasco mostly kept the ball on the ground, helping him survive six balls that left the bat traveling at least 100 mph. Four straight two-out singles by the Mets in the third inning, mostly on weak contact, gave them a 4-1 lead.
