"A clutch pinch-hit home run made the difference as the Mets suffered a 10th consecutive defeat. Carson Kelly, batting for Moisés Ballesteros, jumped on the first pitch he saw and crushed a three-run homer to put the North Siders on top 4-1."
"Taillon was a bit shaky at the open but once again settled down nicely: 6 IP, 1 R, 5 H, 4 K, and 3 BB. The bullpen held up pretty well in its first save situation without a closer."
"As talented as they are offensively, the pitching staff does not need to be perfect for them to win a lot of games. The Cubs have now won consecutive series for the first time this season."
The Cubs scored four runs to win their fourth consecutive game, despite a less explosive offense. A pinch-hit three-run homer by Carson Kelly was pivotal. The Mets initially led with a solo homer from Mark Vientos but could not maintain the advantage. Both starting pitchers performed well until the sixth inning. The Cubs' bullpen effectively closed the game, and the team achieved consecutive series wins for the first time this season, showcasing strong pitching and offensive contributions.
