NEW YORK – For the second straight day, the Cubs’ game against the Mets ended with left fielder Ian Happ firing to his cut-off man as a Mets baserunner sped home.
On Thursday, unlike the night before, the Cubs couldn’t quite pull off a miraculous play at the plate.
The Cubs closed up a four-game series against the Mets with a 7-6 loss in 11 innings Thursday. It was their fourth walk-off loss of the season, leading MLB.
“There’s some opportunities we left out there, and there’s some runs we couldn’t keep off the board, and there’s some things we did well,” manager Craig Counsell said after the game.
