The New York Mets defeated the Chicago Cubs 4-3 tonight to win their third consecutive game and improve their record to 43-37. They are now 5 games out of first place in the National League East after the Washington Nationals lost to the Cincinnati Reds. RHP Bartolo Colon gave up 2 runs in 6 innings. He had 5 strikeouts. He picked up his sixth win of the year. RHP Erik Goedel got the first two outs in the seventh inning, but was unable to record the last out of the inning. LHP Jerry Blevins came in after Goedell was pulled, but also failed to get the final out in the seventh. RHP Addison Reed came in and managed to get the final out of the inning and also pitched a scoreless eighth inning. RHP Jeurys Familia pitched a scoreless ninth inning and picked up his 28th save.
The Mets offense managed to score 4 runs off last year's NL Cy Young Award winner RHP Jake Arrieta. 2B Neil Walker hit a 2 run homer. Catcher Travis d'Arnaud hit the go-ahead 2 run single that would give the Mets a 4-2 lead that they would not relinquish.
