Chicago Cubs Score and Recap (5/11/25): Mets 6, Cubs 2

The Cubs and Mets played the rubber game of their series in the Citi Field on Sunday afternoon in the Citi Field. It was an evenly matching game for the home team in a battle of the bullpens.

New York took the lead in the lower edge of the 2nd, when the catcher Luis Torrens scored an RBI trial by Matthew Boyd. Griffin Canning completely dominated the North Siders through the first five frames and only enabled an infield single.

Boyd imagined well to keep the Cubs within a single run, and Pete Crow-Armstrong crushed a solo with the game Homerun In the 6th Mark Vientos, this balance sheet was returned to the bottom of the frame with his own things to set the Mets 2-1.

Nico Hoerner was the game with a run scoring double from Reliever Reed Garrett in the 7th. New York continued well with four runs in the lower end of the 8th against Porter Hodge and Gavin Hollowell. Francisco Lindor and Brandon Dimo ​​escaped when the Mets won 6-2. ((Box score)))

Key moment

The Cubs were able to keep the incredibly dangerous top of the MES order. They finally exploded in their last bat to withdraw.

Why the Cubs lost

The crime did almost nothing and the pitching rod finally broke under the pressure to keep the game.

Statistics that are important

• Boyd did an excellent job, but could not get a run support: 6 IP, 2 R, 6 H, 8 K, 0 BB.
• No Cubs hit man reached the base more than once on Sunday.

Conclusion

The Mets are the best home team in baseball. Therefore, avoiding a sweep is a perfectly acceptable result in this series. Chicago ended the very difficult early schedule with five games over 0.500, which I did not expect reasonably. The Cubs now have 10 consecutive matchups against teams with a loss record. The hope is that you can use advantages and increase in the overall ranking, but you still have to do well and play well.
