The New York Mets routed the Chicago Cubs 11-1 on Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field as they continued their impressive turnaround in the month of June.
The Mets were looking like clear sellers in the month of May but now they find themselves just 1.0 game back in the National League wild card race. In fact, the Mets could end up making history in the month of June, according to Sarah Langs of MLB.com:
the Mets were tied for the worst record in MLB in May and currently have MLB’s best in June
just 5 teams since 1900 have had the worst (or tied) win pct in MLB in a calendar month, then best (or tied) in the next month (min 15g each month
J.D. Martinez had a home run and four RBI in the win on Friday and is acting as the catalyst for the offense right now, hitting .287 in total with an .870 OPS. Francisco Lindor also went 3-for-5 and has 12 homers this season to go along with 37 RBI.
New York will look to continue the turnaround on Saturday afternoon when they take on the Cubs once again. First pitch is set for 2:20 p.m. ET as Tylor Megill pitches against Jameson Taillon.
Megill is 2-3 with a 3.52 ERA white Taillon is 3-3 with a 3.08.
