In a tightly contested game, the Chicago Cubs rallied to defeat the New York Mets 2-1 in 10 innings, extending the Mets' losing streak to 11 games. This marks the Mets' longest skid since 2004. The Cubs tied the game in the ninth inning when Michael Conforto hit an RBI double, allowing pinch-runner Scott Kingery to score. Nico Hoerner's sacrifice fly in the 10th brought home Pete Crow-Armstrong, who started on second base due to the extra-inning rule. The Mets, who managed only six hits, have been outscored 62-19 during their losing streak and are averaging just 2.9 runs over their last 17 games in April. MJ Melendez contributed a home run for New York, his first since being recalled from Triple-A Syracuse. The Mets will have a day off before starting a nine-game homestand against the Minnesota Twins.
