Francisco Lindor led off with the first of New York's four solo homers and the Mets rolled to a 7-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Friday night in the opener of a three-game series.
Brett Baty and Jeff McNeil went deep in the second while Juan Soto homered in the fourth to help the Mets improve to 14-3 at Citi Field. Soto added an RBI single in the eighth.
Every starter had at least one hit for the Mets, who scored twice in the third when Brandon Nimmo and Francisco Alvarez came home after Dansby Swanson overthrew first base trying to double up the speedy Luisangel Acuña.
