The New York Mets lost to the Chicago Cubs 2-1 this afternoon at Wrigley Field for their eleventh consecutive loss and dropped their record to 7-15.

The Met offense did not do much outside of a solo homer by D.H. M.J. Melendez in the top of the fifth.  They went 1-9 with runners in scoring position leaving six runners on base.

RHP Tobias Myers got the start as an "opener" and did a fine job with two scoreless innings. He gave up one hit and one walk with two strikeouts.

LHP David Peterson came in next in relief in the bottom of the third and got into immediate trouble after he gave up a lead-off triple to CF Pete Crow-Armstrong. He was able to escape out of trouble due to a line-drive double play at 2B Marcus Semian who threw behind Crow-Armstrong to double him off third base.

Perterson stayed in until the bottom of the sixth and left with a runners on third base. RHP Huascar Brazoban came in next and walked the first two hitters he faced to load the bases and then struck out RF Seiya Suzuki to end the inning.

LHP Brooks Raley followed with a scoreless bottom of the seventh.

RHP Luke Weaver came in next and threw a scoreless bottom of the eighth.

RHP Devin Williams came on in the bottom of the ninth and gave up a lead-off single to LF Ian Happ and after a strikeout, gave up a game-tying RBI double to former Met pinch-hitter Michael Conforto.

RHP Craig Kimbrel came on in the bottom of the tenth and gave up a wild pitch to advance ghost runner Crow-Armstrong to third and then gave up a walk-off sacrifice fly to 2B Nico Hoerner.

The Mets are off tomorrow and return back to action on Tuesday, April 21 back at home at Citi Field against the Minnesota Twins at 7:10 p.m.
