The Mets worked extra, extra hard Saturday and were rewarded for those long hours at the office.
CHICAGO — The Mets worked extra, extra hard Saturday and were rewarded for those long hours with a doubleheader sweep at Wrigley Field.
It got dicey in the bottom of the 10th, when Yoan Lopez — left in the game to pitch after the Mets’ top options had been exhausted in Game 1 — loaded the bases after allowing a run. But Lopez got Frank Schwindel to hit a grounder to third and Eduardo Escobar stepped on the bag, then turned a game-ending double play.
The Cubs tied it 2-2 in the fourth against Scherzer on Yan Gomes’ second hit of the game, an RBI single that brought in Patrick Wisdom. “It was a pretty big play right there,” Davis said of his scoop. “I am not trying to single out one play or anything like that, but it was just one of those plays, it was just a great play by [Escobar], getting a glove on it and getting up and kind of giving me an in-between long hop. It was just one of those days where we didn’t score that many runs, but played great defense and the pitchers did their jobs.
Taijuan Walker gave the Mets a chance by allowing one run on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts over six innings in Game 1. It was a second straight strong start for the right-hander, who fired seven shutout innings against the Marlins on Sunday and lowered his ERA to 2.55. Despite the impressive first half, Walker wasn’t among the NL All-Star selections.
