The Mets suffered their sixth straight loss to fall a
season-high 13 games under .500 — the furthest below .500
they’ve been since 2023.
Crow-Armstrong, a former first-round pick of the Mets who was
sent to the Cubs in the Javier Baez deal in 2021, delivered the
tiebreaking hit off Brooks Raley (2-3).
Michael Conforto, Alex Bregman and Ian Happ had RBI hits in the
sixth, when the Cubs’ runs were unearned thanks to a pair of
errors. Chicago’s final eight runs of the series were unearned.
Jacob Webb (2-2) worked around a walk in the ninth and Trent
Thornton retired all three batters he faced in the 10th for his
second career save.
Dansby Swanson, who had 15 RBIs in the first three games to tie
the Cubs' franchise record for a series of any length, went 0
for 4.
Eric Wagaman and Jared Young homered for the Mets.
Matthew Boyd, pitching for the first time since injuring his
left knee playing with his children on May 6, allowed eight
baserunners — four hits and four walks — but struck out four in
4 2/3 scoreless innings.
Mets starter Freddy Peralta allowed three runs, all unearned,
and whiffed five in 5 2/3 innings.
Up next

Triple-A Syracuse on Friday to face Phillies RHP Zack Wheeler
(7-1, 2.11 ERA).
