Let’s dive into the game highlights.Cubs Jump to an Early Lead
The game started with an early Cubs lead. At the top of the 1st inning, Pete Crow-Armstrong kicked things off with a single to center before stealing second, and ultimately reached third on a throwing error by our catcher Francisco Alvarez. The Cubs managed to capitalize on our blunders, with Seiya Suzuki and Dansby Swanson bringing in those first few runs. Despite our best efforts, it looked a bit shaky with us trailing 3-0 by the 3rd inning.Baty Powers Us Back! 
Enter the 4th inning, and we finally see some fireworks from our side! Brett Baty crushed it with a majestic home run to right center, driving in Pete Alonso and Mark Vientos, which shrank the Cubs' lead to 4-3. Baty didn’t stop there; he was on fire tonight and delivered another stunning homer in the 8th inning, cutting the deficit to 6-5 with Vientos coming home as well. His power was our major highlight and gave us a real fighting chance.A Tight Finish
In the 9th inning, the tension was palpable as Jeff McNeil walked, giving us hope for a Mets rally. However, those hopes quickly dwindled as Jose Azocar, pinch running, was caught in a double play, followed by Juan Soto grounding out to end the game. It was a heartbreaker, especially as we were just within grasp of tying it up.Despite the loss, kudos to our team for a valiant effort. We saw some bright moments and it's clear that the fighting spirit of Mets baseball is alive and well. We'll dust ourselves off and come back stronger! Let's go Mets!
