The right-hander handed the ball to reliever Huascar Brazobán, who delivered 1 2/3 scoreless innings with two strikeouts. Two relievers later, Max Kranick couldn’t keep the Mets in the game, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks to give the Cubs a 6-3 lead.

Brett Baty homered twice Saturday night, but his big game was not enough for the Mets, who lost to the visiting Chicago Cubs, 6-5.
