Tonight, the Mets will take on the Chicago Cubs at 8:05 p.m. Matt Harvey has the ball for the Mets and will face Jon Lester.
Last night, Robert Gsellman coughed up an early 1-0 lead in the fourth inning. The big blow came from Kris Bryant, a three-run home run, and that would be all for Gsellman. The Cubs tacked on four more runs against the Mets bullpen to put the game out of reach form the Mets offense. Amed Rosario racked up two hits while making some nice plays in the field.
