The Mets fell to the Cubs 6-5, as they were doomed by a lack of clutch hitting. Brett Baty hit two home runs to bring the Mets within a run each time, but it was not enough, as the Mets otherwise failed to get a big hit with runners in scoring position. Tylor Megill’s struggles in the month of May continued, as he struck out seven batters, but failed to make it out of the fifth inning and surrendered four runs. Max Kranick had a rare misstep, allowing two crucial insurance runs in the eighth that turned out to be the difference in the game.
