Alonso, McNeil homer to power Mets to series win over Cubs

On a night where David Wright and Hank Azaria were in the ballpark, the Mets beat the Cubs 4-3.

Tonight’s game did not get off to a great start, as the very first pitch David Peterson threw was hit out of the ballpark by Christopher Morel to give the Cubs an early 1-0 lead. The Cubs then tacked on another run against Peterson in the second inning off a wild pitch, making it seem it may be a long night at Citi Field. This did not end up being the case, as Peterson settled in a bit to give the team 3.
