CHICAGO — Anthony Rizzo homered and had three hits, Jason Heyward went deep and drove in four runs and the Chicago Cubs beat the Mets, 14-6, on Thursday night.
Chicago’s offense helped overcome a shaky debut by pitcher Jen-Ho Tseng to complete a three-game sweep.
The Cubs outscored the Mets by 39-14 this week after being outscored, 20-3, in a weekend three-game sweep by the Milwaukee Brewers.
Kris Bryant added two R.B.I. as the Cubs extended their lead in the National League Central to three games over Milwaukee and St. Louis, with the Cardinals coming to Wrigley Field for three games this weekend.
