The Mets couldn’t record the sweep Thursday night.
Following three consecutive wins over the Chicago Cubs, Marcus Stroman took the mound and allowed a Javier Baez two-run homer in the top of the first inning.
After that, offensive production was scarce — the Cubs eventually won the matchup by a score of 2-0 to avoid a four-game skid against the Amazins.
But Friday is a new day. The Mets will look to put together a new winning streak when Joey Lucchesi takes the mound for New York against Erick Fedde and the Nationals.
