Backed by five home runs, Jacob deGrom snapped a 10-start winless streak as the Mets defeated the Cubs for a second consecutive night, 10-2, on Friday at Citi Field.
In case you missed it…
- James Loney and Asdrubal Cabrera hit back-to-back home runs in the second inning to get the Mets off and running. It was the ninth time this season New York has homered in consecutive at-bats.
- One night after driving in the first run of his career, Brandon Nimmo hit his first big league home run, a three-run blast in the fourth inning that extended the Mets' lead to 7-1.
