UNDATED (AP) — The Chicago Cubs completed a three-game sweep and beat the New York Mets for the seventh straight time since June 2019.
The Cubs pulled out a 4-3 win over the Mets on Jason Heyward’s pinch-hit, RBI single in the 10th, a half-inning after Dan Winkler stranded the bases loaded. Kris Bryant had two hits and two RBIs and Willson Contreras also drove in a run for the Cubbies, who were in a 3-8 skid before the Mets showed up at Wrigley Field.
