The New York Mets secured a 6-2 victory against the Chicago Cubs, driven by an explosive eighth inning. Francisco Lindor ignited the offense with a solo home run, followed by contributions from Pete Alonso and Mark Vientos. Griffin Canning, celebrating his 29th birthday, excelled on the mound, pitching six innings with only one run allowed. Manager Carlos Mendoza praised the team's solid at-bats, emphasizing Lindor's crucial role in the last inning, where they scored four runs to seal the win on Mother's Day.
A lot of good at-bats, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said after the game. It starts with Lindor. Facing a tough righty there, gets in a good hitter's count, gets a breaking ball and he hits it out of the ballpark. And then we continue to put together some good at-bats.
Mets starter Griffin Canning celebrated his 29th birthday with yet another stellar performance. The right-hander cruised through six innings, surrendering just one run, two hits, and a walk with five strikeouts.
