The Cubs dropped two of the three games against the Mets this weekend, giving them back-to-back series losses for the first time this season. They also went 1-2 against the Giants last week at Wrigley Field.

After working a 3-1 count, Lindor saw a hanging sweeper and capitalized on it, driving it deep into the Mets’ bullpen to give New York a 3-2 lead. Crossing home plate, Lindor was demonstrative, pounding his chest and shouting into his dugout, drawing pumped reactions from his teammates.

Francisco Lindor led off the eighth inning with a tie-breaking home run to spark a four-run outburst and give the New York Mets a 6-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs in the deciding game of a three-game series between National League division leaders.
