The Cubs fell behind the Mets early thanks to a Pete Alonso home run for the second consecutive night on Tuesday. This time, however, Chicago was able to respond and rally for a tense one-run victory with the help of an outstanding start and more heroics from Mike Tauchman.
Jameson Taillon made his only major mistake in the bottom of the 1st inning, leaving a fastball over the outside corner that Alonso smoked off the center field wall. It was originally called an RBI double, but video review found that it hit just above the orange line for a two-run homer.
