"the New York Mets overcame a five-run deficit and rode Francisco Alvarez's dramatic eight-inning two-run home run to defeat the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on Tuesday night. The catcher, who has dealt with multiple injuries and a minor-league demotion this season, launched the two-out, two-run shot with two outs in the eighth inning against Cubs reliever Caleb Thielbar to cap off the Mets' largest comeback victory of the season."
"but Peterson imploded shortly afterward, lasting a season-worst 1.1 innings while allowing five runs on five hits. With two outs and two men on in the bottom of the first, Carlos Santana ripped a two-RBI double to put the Cubs in front. The hosts blew it open in the second after Peterson allowed a lead-off walk and single. Nico Hoerner drove in one with an RBI knock, followed by Ian Happ's two-run double to make it a 5-1 game."
New York erased a 6-1 deficit to beat Chicago at Wrigley Field after Francisco Alvarez hit a two-out, two-run homer in the eighth to complete the rally. Bradon Nimmo delivered a game-tying three-run home run during a five-run fifth inning, four of those coming with two outs. Francisco Lindor opened the scoring with a home run, but starter David Peterson lasted just 1.1 innings while allowing five runs on five hits. Carlos Santana, Nico Hoerner and Ian Happ produced early offense for the Cubs. The Mets (81-76) now hold a one-game lead for the third NL Wild Card spot.
