Francisco Lindor led off with the first of New York’s four solo homers and the Mets rolled to a 7-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Friday night in the opener of a three-game series.

Crow-Armstrong got there first, jumping into the padding and missing the ball by inches.

Sunday’s loss dropped the series to the New York Mets, marking the first time the Chicago Cubs have lost back-to-back series this season.

Cade Horton handled his second New York City traffic jam Saturday much better than his first. After sitting through a 90-minute bus ride to the ballpark, Horton twice worked out of trouble against the New York Mets’ best hitters to win his major league debut for the Chicago Cubs.
