Cubs Seek Redemption Against Mets in Saturday Showdown

QUEENS, New York – The Chicago Cubs (22-17) face off against the New York Mets (25-14) in Game 2 of their three-game series on Saturday, May 10, at Citi Field. The game is set to start at 7:15 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on FOX.

The Mets dominated the Cubs 7-2 in the series opener on Friday, marking their third win in four games. Francisco Lindor’s solo home run sparked the Mets’ scoring early on, which included additional home runs by Brett Baty and Jeff McNeil.

New York swiftly took control of the game, scoring five runs in the first three innings. Despite a late attempt at a comeback, Chicago’s Kyle Tucker and Michael Busch’s solo homers were not enough to close the gap.

On Saturday, the Cubs will send Brad Keller (0-0, 3.78 ERA) to the mound, hoping to turn the tide after losing their last three games. Keller has shown promise in relief, not allowing a run in his last three appearances.

The Mets will counter with Tylor Megill (3-2, 2.50 ERA), who has consistently performed well this season. The right-hander aims to maintain his strong form as he faces the Cubs for the first time in his career.

Chicago has struggled offensively recently and is seeking to regain momentum. They hold a slim lead in the NL Central, just two games ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals. Meanwhile, the Mets sit atop the NL East, 2.5 games ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies.

This highly anticipated matchup features hitters in top form. Mets’ star Francisco Lindor currently boasts eight home runs and 25 RBIs, while Cubs’ player Kyle Tucker is leading with ten home runs and 32 RBIs. Fans are in for an exciting battle as both teams seek crucial wins.
