Cubs 6, Mets 5: Cubs Rally to Complete 4-Game Sweep of Mets

Dexter Fowler homered and scored the winning run in the seventh inning on a passed ball, and the Chicago Cubs rallied from a four-run deficit to beat the Mets, 6-5, on Thursday, completing a four-game sweep.

Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and Matt Szczur each had RBI hits as the Cubs recorded their first four-game sweep of the Mets since August 1992.

Anthony Recker had a pair of solo home runs to pace the Mets, but the backup catcher’s failure to hold onto a slider from reliever Hansel Robles in the seventh allowed the go-ahead run to score.
